Stephen Coomber - Taxi


About Stephen:

- He enjoys Art Direction because he likes to work on the generation of an idea.
- He reminded us that there is always someone better than you at something, and being a jack-of-all-trades is his preference.
- He really likes the beginning process of coming up with an idea.

Tips from Stephen:

Find a mentor
- They know your job better than you do
- they can get you further into places your job doesn't take you
- remember to return the favour - help new people, keep no secrets

Never Take Shotgun
-Always sit in the driver's seat
- you should be in charge of your own destiny (in control of your own career)
- find conferences, ask if you can go through work
- there are always more opportunities
- if you put more in you'll get more out
- He mentioned the "Flash in the Can" technologies conference

Tweet
- Let them tell you

Drink Beer
- wine, vodka, cranberry juice, pepsi
- he likes to hang out at the "Wellington" btw

Don't take yourself too seriously

Be Passionate
