What if the most valuable thing you could create wasn’t the work itself…but the system behind it?

Carson Ting is an award-winning artist, designer, and creative director whose work spans illustration, branding, advertising, public art, and large-scale collaborations.

He’s created work for brands like Nike and the NBA — and was recently named an official FIFA World Cup 2026™ Artist representing Canada.

But after decades of making creative work, Carson has been thinking increasingly about what happens when you stop creating one thing at a time.
Instead, what if you built a system that could help you create again and again?

For Carson, systems are a way to work smarter — giving creative people a repeatable way to develop ideas and produce stronger work without simply putting in more hours.

[You don’t have to solve every creative problem from scratch]

On Sept 24, Carson will share his approach to building systems for creative work.

If you are a commercial creative working in branding, marketing, design, advertising, or technology, attend this Talk + Social to discover:

• How Carson thinks about systems as part of the creative process.
• How to stop approaching every new project from a blank page.
• How to create repeatable ways of developing and producing ideas.
• How to build a creative system of your own — and put it to work.

Then, Carson will guide the room through a live experiment: we’ll collectively build a creative system and use it to create something together.

Join us for drinks and pizza with talented local creatives — and leave with a different way to think about how you make creative work.
