With BBC News Creative Director: Why Creative Skills Are Future-Proof
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞-𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟?
In a world where creativity meets constant disruption, how do we know which skills will survive — and which will become obsolete?
In this episode of The Future of Skills, I’m joined by Jenny Law, Creative Director at BBC News, who shares not only her insights on future-ready creativity — but also her deeply personal story of transformation.
Having overcome a traumatic childhood marked by neglect, domestic abuse, and uncertainty, Jenny found refuge and power in creative expression. Her journey through Central Saint Martins — one of the world’s leading art schools — became a foundation not only for artistic skill, but for building the very traits the future demands: critical thinking, self-awareness, and resilience in times of unpredictability.
From leading visual storytelling at one of the most respected media institutions in the world, to championing the human side of creativity in the face of AI, Jenny’s story is a testament to how deeply personal strength and creative power are intertwined.
✨ Whether you're a designer, storyteller, or navigating your own reinvention — this conversation is both a toolkit and a source of strength.
