what is

business for

creatives?

You are a creative person: you trust your intuition, you have a unique talent, you solve problems by looking at rhythms, patterns, and designs.

Whether you’re an artist hoping to open your own gallery or a graphic designer trying to land an agency or in-house job, you might not call yourself a “business person.” But believe it or not, one day you could find yourself responsible for tracking budgets, balancing financial statements, estimating sample sizes, and more.

Or simply, you might be somebody that enjoys using both sides of your brain and pursuing a career in the creative industries with management and business-related roles.

Mozaik Play Tip: industry professionals prefer graduates that know their craft, can work in teams AND have commercial acumen.
