Curate experiences.

Bring meaning and depth to everyday projects. Every action, story or a shared piece of art is an opportunity to create a path for others to follow.

Every negative has a positive.

There are no wrong answers. Sometimes the most innovative solutions originate from something that didn’t work.

Critical thinking is an art form.

Use it or you lose it. Taking time to explore and push boundaries is essential in creating something new and unexpected.

 

You don’t need to explain good design.

Strategic design is the combination of tone, content and visual elements. Master all three and control how people engage and adopt new ways of thinking.

Always break the rules, a little.

Allow team members to play and deviate from the path. Anarchy feeds the innovative spirit. Sometimes you gotta break things.

Play fair because there is no war.

Work is hard, and everything comes down to how you treat others. Kindness goes a long way. Respect different ideas. And freakin have fun. Life is short.

Let’s make something beautiful.
