Episode 205: Taking Initiative to Be Part of the Solution with Laurel Stark

Welcome to episode 205 where today, I have a fantastic chat with Laurel Stark, Creative Director on The Sims at EA. We talk about her creative journey coupled with her entrepreneurial mindset got her to where she is now. We also talk about how having a foot in creativity and tech influenced the diversity and inclusion within her work, how working at a gaming company really stretches her to think about games that promotes self expression, belonging, and creativity, and what real leadership looks like. We get to learn all about Next Creative Leaders which has the next competition launching in May; it's a portfolio competition for women and non binary creative leaders in partnership with the 3% movement and the One Club for Creativity; listen in to learn how it began, the opportunities it has to offer for a glimpse at a creative career; and better yet, how the winner becomes part of the jury for the next year!  Follow and connect with Laurel below!
