The Creative Technologist
summary
Argues creativity is a trainable engineering skill backed by neuroplasticity and practical habits: daily sketching roughly five times a week, a three-month creative sabbatical to rewire routines, and tools like iPad Pro and Procreate and Paper 53. Cites the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain and the Sketchnote Handbook, uses sketchnotes in meetings and conferences to make diagrams and visual language, and cites studies showing 29% more retention from doodling — resulting in faster access to flow, better communication, and more sustainable problem solving.
