According to author Orna Ross, creativism is defined as “the conscious application of creativity into everything in life.” It’s not limited to conventional outlets like painting or writing, but instead, followers are encouraged to integrate creative thinking into every possible facet of life.

They aren’t working well in today’s economy. I’m not talking about technical skills so much as the ability to harness our own creative capacity.”
