Amitai Plasse: Creative Leader & Contributor
I am a multidisciplinary creative, originally from New York City, living in Austin since 2011. In my 25+ years of eclectic professional experience I have focused on the marriage between creative excellence and achieving business goals. As an early adopter in the crossroads between media and technology, I have built and managed relationships with partners and team members across disciplines, always with an attention towards team dynamic. In recent years I have also included a focus on education and team building, designing and leading creative workshops and group projects for people of all creative backgrounds and skill levels with the goal of empowering individuals, breaking down barriers, and encouraging creative practice in daily life.
