My favorite designers, artists and thinkers:
“Giving people a small ” ! ” moment.
There are so many small ” ! ” moments hidden in our everyday.
But we don’t recognize them.
And even when we do recognize them, we tend to unconsciously reset our minds and forget what we’ve seen.”
My favorite book
About two squares by EI Lissitzky
Open your eyes and your ears wide
Extend the boundaries of your imagination
