The past few years have been an adventure. We have had the opportunity to open doors between the academic and professional world. The privilege, to do ambitious and innovative projects with organisations and institutions that inspire us to this day. And the honour to work with brilliant designers with endless expertise. We have seen our team blossom. From a team of two giving a workshop, to a team of over 50 running a challenge a week. It has been a roller coaster ride, in which we have experienced a lot.
We have grown. In our way of working, as a community and within the impact we have. On this page, we reflect on this. We look back on past adventures, consider the now and dream and plan for the future. We therefore invite you to immerse yourself in this time-capsule, to read stories provided by our teammates and friends and to take a trip down memory lane with us...
