The hardest-working creative you’ll ever meet, Paul Jarvis is a designer, author, teacher, software creator and podcaster.

He’s written four books (translated into Korean, Russian, Arabic and several other languages he unfortunately doesn’t speak), and builds beautiful-yet-practical digital courses to show people how to kick ass at the intersection of creativity and commerce. Paul also co-founded ofCourseBooks and hosts two podcasts about business, freelancing, creativity – and nerdy stuff like time travel and vampires.
