❝Curiosity is the driving force behind design; it pushes us to ask ‘why’ and ‘what if.’ In our work, curiosity sparks fresh ideas and bold solutions that connect with people. When we embrace curiosity, we open doors to positive change by challenging norms and creating spaces that truly matter.❞ — Richard Breslin on "Curiosity"
