Ep 269: PJ Richardson, Laundry co-founder on playing in the chaos of agency creativity
Description
PJ Richardson discovered graffiti. It brought him fulfilment when chaos was present in his early life.
The chaos hasn't gone away; it has only changed shape and form. We discuss his journey from painting walls to leading a Los Angeles-based motion and design studio, what today's chaos looks like, and how he finds the space to create great art within it in the commercial world.
We discuss:
- Trauma and resilience
- Abandon mindset when all else seems lost
- The need to create 'sandboxes' and 'playgrounds' to avoid stifling creativity with procedure and protocol.
- Laundry's conception and evolution.
