Our dependence on technology to share and cooperate is radically changing the traditional framework of how we develop and promote creative solutions.
In the mid-20th century, creative services were often provided by artists working in isolation who produced works of beauty and pragmatism without the friction of a group atmosphere.
Today’s creative business model overvalues highly visible, technology interdependent assertive and celebrity-like behavior, thus marginalizing more autonomous thinkers.
This thesis presents the hypothesis that a re-invented model for the “introvert” will lead to a nonconformist, innovative, resonating and therefore more successful designer ideal.

WHAT ARE WE LOSING?
“We want to attract creative people,”
the director of human resources at a major media company told me. When I asked what she meant by “creative, she answered without missing a beat.
“You have to be outgoing, fun and jazzed up to work here.”

The artist in the studio lives a life of intense isolation, yet one which by its very nature produces work that resonates with broader meaning and relevance. By conjecture, this kind of work benefits immeasurably from the imposed solace of the studio, an environment that begets its own fierce concentration.

Isolationists:requires less stimulation to do more

not affected by peer pressure, not people pleasers
process environment unusually deeply (physical and emotional)
highly empathetic

Personality defines us as much as gender or race.
We are living in a time of an idealized, unfair perception of
what a creative thinker should be.
