With Josh Higgins, on being President Obama's Design Director

Josh Higgins' career history reads like something out of a novel. He began his working life touring the USA in a van with rock band Fluf, going on to release seven albums with MCA Universal. And that's before the chapters where he becomes Design Director for President Obama and builds a 200 strong team at Facebook. Josh is now VP Global Creative at Atlassian, the software business with a multi-billion dollar market-cap. It's a fascinating story and a particularly good episode for anyone interested in political advertising, the rhythm of an election campaign or for designers wondering what life might look like beyond the walls of their creative agency.
