Superhumans on Creative Fulfillment in 2022
As a creativity agency, we’re always thinking about how and why we make what we do.
We’ve spent a lot of time this past year pondering what creativity means for us, both professionally and personally. As we close in on the holidays, we’re looking back on our ever-evolving relationship to creativity during 2022—how it has changed, shaped, and surprised us. Below is a selection of fulfilling creative moments:
Did you learn anything new about yourself this year through a creative endeavor?
“The value of a strong strategic foundation can’t be underestimated—it always leads to better, more grounded and resonant work.”

What are you really proud to have created this past year?
“I had the opportunity to collaborate with Laura, Head of Experience, and Alex, Associate Director of Project Management to bring a website planning tool to life!
