Drift Book Club

At Drift, we encourage each member of our team to read a book off this list each month. By taking the time to invest in ourselves and learn new things, we are able to not only become better creatives, but we are able to expand our knowledge base. Its very natural to not know everything about each part of the creative field and to be interested in learning new soft skills. By committing the time to read a book and devote that time to grow, it allows our team to continue to grow both creatively and intellectually.
