Chris Yonge shared his overal view of how creativity might be redefined in the future. 3D printing will be part of an exciting open economy. There will be four critical changes in the future: how we make, how we design, how we communicate and how we finance things. And when we change our relationship to things we change our relationship to ourselves. Our society really need creative human beings, not just consumers.

Moving to the US he became a product designer in North Carolina and California before becoming ever more fascinated by the potential of 3D digital modeling, animation, and production.
