Talking Creative Sh*t with Kevin Alan Mau

Talking Creative Sh*t is a candid, no-nonsense channel about creativity, value, branding, and respect.
This channel is for designers, illustrators, photographers, and artists of all kinds—as well as creative leaders (especially in-house), recent design grads, and parents of young artisans exploring creative careers. It’s also for clients of creative work in any medium who want a clearer understanding of what they’re paying for and why strong brand development requires experience, trust, and long-term thinking.
Here, we talk honestly about pricing, exposure, burnout, leadership, and the realities of navigating the corporate world creatively. No hype. No gurus. Just hard-earned perspective from decades spent working across multiple creative disciplines and client personalities.
Unless otherwise noted, the opinions expressed on this channel are based on my personal experience spanning more than 30 years in the creative field and are shared for educational and informational purposes only.
