About Javy Wong Galindo

Javy Wong Galindo, M Eng., is a self-proclaimed creative thinking dimwit who has a penchant for over exaggeration. This former electrical engineer and performing artist is the author of The Power of Thinking Differently: An imaginative guide to creativity, change, and the discovery of new ideas. Laid off from his job as an electrical engineer in 2007, Galindo turned a setback into an opportunity, going back to graduate school to partake in a two-year journey to explore the science and psychology of creative thinking. When he’s not speaking on creativity, Javy can be found singing at a club, performing bad comedy improv, writing an unfunny comedy sketch, running poorly on an uphill trail, or attempting to catch flies with chopsticks.
