Insights: Fraser Johnson

Young Australian creatives share their career and life advice in a new video series..

They say if you write a wise saying, your name will live forever. What if you try and be a wisecrack on Youtube? Is that forever too? Watch the first episode of our new creative talks video series, Insights, where mostly ordinary (and occasionally extraordinary) young people share practical life and career advice. 

Here at Pilerats we like to live by the famous motto that genius is 1% inspiration... and 99% fucking around. Series 1 of Insights sees Pilerats attempt to elucide that 1% for you by putting ourselves on the firing line.

Co-founder of West Australian creative collective Pilerats, awesome graphic designer, and Made in the Pile Co-ordinator Fraser Johnson, gives us an insight into his working philosophies - including the importance of creating downtime for yourself. "You can never really get away from work you're passionate about - it becomes your life. But it's important to do things outside of your work life, to remove your head from the game - it resets you for the next day." Watch the videos below:
