The importance of curiosity and finding the right mentors with MCM Architecture Design Director, Deepak Parmar.

My guest for this episode is Deepak Parmar, Design and Board Director of south London B-Corp certified design consultancy, MCM Architecture. Notable MCM clients include DeBeers, Channel 4, ITV, Conde Nast, the NFL, Estee Lauder and Mastercard. I’ve known Deepak for a long time, and our regular conversations about creativity, covering design, music, fashion, and food where among my many inspirations for staring this podcast. For this conversation we briefly added haircuts to that list. Our discussion covers what he refers to as the potential creative superpowers of being from an immigrant family, how creativity begins with curiosity, finding and learning from the right mentors, and how Deepak sees his own form of mentoring as his “most creative act”.
