    Dare to start with an audience of one - Malika Favre & George Wu

    Malika Favre is one of the most recognisable illustrators working today — a master of bold geometry, reduced palettes, and images you feel before you decode. George Wu is a graphic designer, event director, product creator, and by her own admission, a jack of all trades. Together, they created I Can't Afford This But Maybe She Can — a curation account that started as a private joke between two best friends and grew into a 350,000-follower community, a newsletter with a 70%+ open rate, and a full concept store with over 300 products from 90 independent brands worldwide. This conversation captures why that happened — and what it actually takes to build something meaningful without a business plan, a marketing budget, or any intention of selling out. Key Takeaways Friendship is a creative force. Malika and George's decade-long friendship is the foundation of everything — the trust, the honesty, and the courage to post without approval-seeking.Curation is care made visible. Their process — going down rabbit holes, translating Japanese craft websites, following follower trails — shows the difference between sharing and truly giving a damn.Ego is the first thing to go. George's journey from curating for approval to posting freely mirrors a shift every creative needs to make at some point.Innovation vs. perfection isn't a conflict — it's a team. George chases the new; Malika pursues the perfect. Their output is both.Building outside the algorithm is an act of resistance. No reels, no faces, no sponsored clutter — and 350k people followed anyway because the care was unmistakable.Monetising without compromising is the hardest part. The shop, the newsletter, the auction house commission — each step has been deliberate, values-led, and brutally honest about what isn't working yet.The last mile is rarely crowded. Their willingness to go further — to find the fourth-generation kite maker in Japan, to contact every one of 90 brands individually — is exactly why their audience trusts them. Daring Creativity.

  2. Dare to challenge the status quo with joy - PJ Richardson (Live from OFFF 2026)

    Dare to challenge the status quo with joy - PJ Richardson (Live from OFFF 2026)

    In this special live episode recorded in front of an audience at OFFF Barcelona 2026, Radim sits down with PJ Richardson — ECD and co-founder of Laundry, a motion design studio based in LA and San Francisco — to pull back the curtain on one of the most ambitious creative projects of the festival: the OFFF 2026 opening titles, the nine-and-a-half-minute projection mapping piece that lit up an entire building and stopped the crowd in their tracks.  PJ Richardson takes us inside the full arc of that creative journey — from the initial spark of ambition, through the chaos of experimentation, to the emotional moment of standing outside watching it play with his friends and peers. This conversation is about far more than motion design. It's about daring to ask, the courage to collaborate, the willingness to sit with discomfort, and the decision — every single day — to challenge the status quo with joy. Takeaways: Asking is its own creative act — PJ emailed Pep for three consecutive years before the timing aligned. Persistence without pressure eventually becomes a possibility.Say yes, then figure it out — Laundry's working philosophy of committing first and problem-solving second is what makes ambitious work happen at all.The process is the art — PJ's conceptual framework for the titles treated the journey of creativity itself as the subject matter, not just the output.Failure is the raw material — every experiment that didn't work became the foundation for the one that did. A thousand failed attempts led to one defining idea.Collaboration is a cheat code — bringing in friends like Alex Liou, Alejandro R. Meija, and Josh Pierce wasn't a compromise; it was the creative multiplier that made the whole thing possible.Challenge the status quo with joy — PJ's guiding theme for the titles, and for his creative life: the hard work is worth doing, but the intention to enjoy it matters deeply.Community is the celebration — the moment the piece felt truly finished wasn't in the edit suite. It was standing outside in Barcelona with peers, watching it on the building together. .Daring Creativity.

  3. Dare to find curiosity in all things - Dora Drimalas

    Dare to find curiosity in all things - Dora Drimalas

    Dora Drimalas, co-founder of San Francisco design studio Hybrid, joins Radim to explore what it really means to build a creative practice grounded in genuine, unfiltered curiosity. ~  Over 24 years, Hybrid has refused to specialise — working instead across branding, campaigns, books, and environments for clients from Nike to Lego — and Dora explains why that deliberate refusal to narrow down has been the studio's greatest creative strength.  From their formative years at Nike, where fearlessness was the culture, to the making of their debut monograph Curiosity in All Things — a 650-page love letter to design, process, and inspiration — this is a conversation about building the conditions for great work, asking bigger questions, and creating without fear. Takeaways Specialising might be better for business, but diversifying is better for creativity — and Hybrid chose creativity every timeFertile conditions for good work require a mix of personalities, backgrounds, disciplines, and points of view — creative biodiversity is non-negotiableClients often lock down possibilities before the conversation has even started — a great creative's job is to reopen themThe Nike years were grad school for design: fearlessness, cross-medium storytelling, and throwing people into projects they weren't yet qualified forBeing on the outside as an agency lets you cross-pollinate ideas across industries — that is an advantage in-house work can never fully replicateA monograph is not just a portfolio — it's a record of thinking, process, relationships, and the inspiration that makes the work possibleYou can make beautiful work on small budgets; it costs exactly the same to print ugly as it does to print beautifulStepping back as a leader — and letting others grow into their roles — is its own form of creative satisfaction Daring Creativity.

  4. Dare to bring creative poetry to every problem - Pablo Juncadella

    Dare to bring creative poetry to every problem - Pablo Juncadella

    Pablo Juncadella is co-founder and partner at Mucho, the Barcelona-based branding and identity studio approaching its 25th year. In this conversation, Pablo traces a career built on unlikely advantages — dyslexia, collective thinking, and an editorial background that taught him to treat brands as stories told in headlines. ~ From working on El País at 22 through Pentagram London, to becoming creative director of The Observer at 25, to building a studio with offices across Europe and the US, his path has been one of constant curiosity, deliberate humility, and a refusal to lower the standard of what design can do. Takeaways: Creativity is not visualisation — it's the ability to see from a different perspective and bring others thereDyslexia, and conditions like it, place you naturally outside the majority — that position is the seed of creative advantageIdeas are preludes, not destinations — falling too in love with one prevents the better version from arrivingThe best early careers involve challenges larger than your current capability — that gap is exactly where you growCollective intelligence outlasts individual ambition; a studio with its own identity can evolve beyond any one person's needs or energyClient satisfaction is a baseline, not a ceiling — the real job is to hold higher standards than anyone asked forFrustration is not a sign of failure — it's the engine that keeps the standard from quietly droppingVisual language is the most universal language; use it to bridge cultures, industries, and disciplinesDesign builds on what came before — your job is to contribute to the wheel, not just spin itLongevity comes from curiosity, adaptability, and the willingness to learn from the person sitting across the table Daring Creativity.
