Lynda.com: Creative Inspirations

By Paula Tesch

Lynda.com is famous for their wide array of technical tutorials, but have you ever checked out the Creative Inspirations section of their site? It’s good stuff.

It features insights from some of the world’s most influential designers, agencies, and artists, including Margo Chase, Big Spaceship, and Douglas Kirkland.

Each person or company provides a range of information about themselves– including tours of their workspace, open discussions about their creative process, and insights on trends in the design world.

Recently, lynda.com paid a visit to Duarte, to film our very own section of Creative Inspirations. They captured some great footage! We gave them a tour of our office, chatted with them about slide:ology, the fun of owning a family business, and even got to chat with Lynda herself! We finished it all off with story time–complete with milk & cookies.

Take a minute to take a peek inside Duarte. We hope it inspires you creatively.
