Designer and entrepreneur Jason Mayden, Stanford Graduate School of Business MS ’11, believes that design is a lifestyle, not a vocation, one that expresses values that inform every aspect of his experience. It begins with the humility to listen, to study, and to learn.
“I have to be a bridge. I have to make way for you, and I have to be able to help translate to those who want to work with people like us.”
In this video, Mayden discusses his path from a dreamy teenager inspired by a Black comic book character to 13 years as a top designer at Nike to the launch of his own company, Trillicon Valley. And the perspective that keeps him grounded. “The two jobs that I covet the most are being a husband and being a father,” he says. #voicesofstanfordgsbalumnni
