Advice to New Artists
"Believe in yourself and your work. Explore as many forms as you can. Discover art comes from inside and as long as work on the skills, true art will emerge. Keep creating and create what is true to you, never stop or be discouraged by what others say… Designers — we make the world more beautiful. More functional. Safer. More special. The more of ‘you’ that goes into your work, the more original it becomes; there’s something magical about that.” - Everett Hoag
What can we learn about different cultures and peoples by analyzing their art forms?
Art is an expression of our beliefs, feelings, instincts, and wishes. It's about sharing the way we experience the world, an extension of personality and social commentary. it enriches our everyday lives in deeply rooted ways. The process of making art is the communication of feelings from artist to viewer.
Art is a visual documentation of history, heritage and culture that can tell a story to anyone in the world, no matter what language they speak. It show us how history and society have changed over time. By making art together we inspire reflection and form connections that transcend differences.
Art and Design are a kind of thinking/making process which enables people to form and develop their identity. It is a self-affirming activity which helps us to interpret, think about, add to, or challenge our beliefs. Most importantly, art allows us to be open to new ideas and experiences.

“My mom told me to remember to love people and use things, never the other way around. This may seem pretty simple and logical. Yet there are times we may want to do the reverse."
Focus on Detail
Our design stories have emerged by pursuing the things we love, and those pursuits have intersected in unexpected ways. The following are a collection of driving ideas, values, inventions and curiosities that we continuously explore. Some are big ideas, some are tiny details—together these curiosities fuel our passion for connecting through design.
