Stanley Hainsworth

A striking and story-rich guide to the creative journey—told by the design visionary behind Starbucks.

Idea-ology: The Designer’s Journey is an inspiring and visually immersive look at creativity in action, seen through the career of one of design’s most distinctive voices. Stanley Hainsworth—former Global Creative Director for Starbucks—offers a rare behind-the-scenes tour of the projects, processes, and pivotal moments that shaped his path from small-town actor to global design leader.

Through personal stories, sketches, photographs, and brand case studies, Hainsworth explores the mindset and method behind successful creative work—from seeking inspiration to pitching ideas, building teams, crafting narratives, and continually evolving your practice.

Inside, you’ll find:

 • Candid career stories from Stanley’s time at global brands and his founding of the creative agency Tether
 • Actionable insights on developing creative confidence, navigating feedback, and leading with vision
 • Visual inspiration including original drawings, branding boards, and project breakdowns
 • Mentorship and motivation for students, freelancers, in-house creatives, and agency leaders alike

This book is both a personal journey and a professional roadmap, filled with humor, vulnerability, and creative provocation. Whether you’re just starting out or redefining your next chapter, Idea-ology will inspire you to think like a designer—and live like one too.

Bold, insightful, and deeply human, this is the creative playbook only Stanley Hainsworth could write.
