Feel like you’re creating for people who hate you? Tired of screaming into the void? John Mauriello, an industrial designer and adjunct professor of industrial design at California College of the Arts, digs deep into why creativity often goes unappreciated.

Our life would be far more boring without creative masterpieces, but society totally takes our contribution for granted. Why is that? On another note, why does society fear creative people so much? This video hopes to uncover some of these deeper questions.
