The air is filled with curiosity and excitement.
A large room with a playful mural on the wall is a reminder to embrace the innocence and childlike creativity in all of us. Often, you’ll witness a group of people with diverse perspectives moving around in this room, sticking colorful notes on large boards, and sketching vibrant designs on the walls.
Bringing Ideas to Life
