The Creative Priority Workshop

Summary

Creativity is your most valuable asset. But for most working creatives, it gets pushed aside week after week, until you’re producing work that’s fine… but not the work you actually care about.

The Creative Priority is a full day, hands-on, activation focused workshop designed to change that.

This is about both being and doing.
Who you are becoming as a creative, and what you are actually making.

Through a mix of guided activations, solo work, and group reflection, you’ll define what you want to create, start a project on the day, and build a clear plan to follow it through.

This isn’t a lecture. You’ll be actively making, thinking, and reflecting throughout.

By the end, you’ll have a project in motion, a 90 day plan, and practical systems to make creativity part of your weekly workflow… not something that gets squeezed out.

For solo designers, this means evolving your style, standing out, and opening up new opportunities.

For teams, it means more engaged creatives producing stronger ideas and better work.

It’s not about passive inspiration.

It’s about making creativity a priority and building a regular practice that supports the work you want to be known for.

What you’ll walk away with

• A defined creative direction and a clearer sense of who you are as a creative
• A project already started, with momentum to continue
• A 90 day plan to build a body of work
• Practical systems to stay consistent, even when work is busy
• Tools to overcome time, burnout, and creative blocks
• A simple way to share your work and improve it over time

Who it’s for

• Designers and creatives who know they’ve got better work in them
• Creatives with ideas that never quite get finished
• Creatives feeling stuck, flat, or going through the motions
• Agency teams who want better output and more engaged creatives
• Anyone ready to take ownership of their creative practice

“Craig brings a deep understanding of the creative process and the need to actively sustain it – especially in a commercial design context. His workshop gave our team space to reflect, recharge, and take away tangible strategies for maintaining creative momentum in the day-to-day”
