"If you're not curious and embracing change, the world will start to change around you. People often are afraid of change. It's a scary thing." - Simon Dixon
In this revealing conversation, Simon Dixon, co-founder of Dixon Baxi, discusses his 24-year journey building one of the world's leading branding agencies. He shares insights about creative confidence, managing change, and maintaining authenticity in an increasingly noisy design industry.
Dixon reveals his approach to leadership, learning, and staying relevant while working with global brands like Netflix and AC Milan. With refreshing honesty, he discusses the evolution from being a self-described "self-obsessed" young designer to becoming a leader who understands the value of collaboration and mentorship.
His perspective on balancing creative excellence with business acumen offers valuable insights for both emerging and established designers.
