I know that right now, I'm a student. I know that right now, I've got shit to show for what I can do. I know that right now, most of my work is student work. But would you prospect an electrician? Would you prospect a doctor? A lawyer? This will become more relevant to me one day. But for now, this is good to keep in mind.

Maybe people think that if you went to art school, you don't understand money?

Our speaker at the March 2011 San Francisco, CreativeMornings (www.creativemornings.com) was Mike Monteiro, Design Director, and co-founder of Mule Design Studio (www.muledesign.com).
