In this honest and inspiring blend of memoir and creative guide, E.H. de la Espriella shares the personal journey behind his decades-long career in graphic design and creative leadership. From his early childhood in Panama to navigating life-changing moments of loss, reinvention, and cultural transformation, E.H. weaves together a story of resilience, curiosity, and creative discovery.
Told with warmth, clarity, and hard-won insight, this book invites readers into the realities of building a career in the arts, through rejection, impostor syndrome, toxic bosses, and career pivots, while offering hard-earned lessons on staying true to one's creative identity. Along the way, E.H. opens up about the mentors who inspired him, the experiences that shaped him, the risks that helped him grow, and the courage it takes to begin again.
Blending practical wisdom with personal narrative, the book culminates in The Creative Spark Principles-timeless insights that any artist or designer can apply to build a meaningful, sustainable career. Each principle distills the values that helped E.H. not just navigate but thrive in the creative world-integrity, purpose, generosity, and a deep belief that design, at its best, serves something greater than ourselves.
Ideal for creatives at any stage of their journey, this is a book about finding your path, honoring your voice, and making room for others as you rise.
