EDITOR’S NOTE

Sustainable art

Gone are the days when all fresh graduates hunt for full-time jobs. According to an article by Fast Company, “In the past few years, a new favorite career choice has emerged, which eclipses any other form of traditional employment— working for themselves or launching their own business.”

Being wired to create rather than to work up a corporate ladder is a fate only for the weird and the brave. Many creatives today have penetrated the world of entrepreneurs because selling one’s craft does not always equate to becoming a sell-out. As for jewelry designer Natalya Lagdameo, she prefers to work quietly and let her work speak for itself. “I really don’t do events or social stuff,” she admits.

Beyond rows of cubicles in high rises, we’ve featured three young creative minds on what their ideal workspace should be like. Also in this issue are local startups that solve our common woes through online sites and mobile apps.

The end goal is to live to create not to create to live. Learn to grab opportunities as they come without sacrificing your integrity.
