Description

In this honest and inspiring blend of memoir and creative guide, E.H. de la Espriella traces his journey from a childhood in Panama to a decades-long career in graphic design and creative leadership at The Walt Disney Company. Through stories of resilience, reinvention, mentorship, and overcoming setbacks, from impostor syndrome to toxic bosses, he offers hard-earned lessons on staying true to one’s creative identity. Balancing deeply personal reflections with practical insights, he closes with The Creative Spark Principles, a set of values and tools designed to help any artist build a meaningful, sustainable creative life. This is a warm, insightful book about finding your path, honoring your voice, and lifting others as you rise.
