About this video

Description

Christopher provides a candid account of his experiences with the power of generosity, the process of letting go and why the pursuit of ownership is ultimately flawed. Join him as he outlines how these ideas reshaped and reoriented his design career. Along the way, he shares a selection of projects and outcomes and is frank about his messy and pointless search for the perfect process, the importance of access to design and the pressures we all face trying to make great work. The audience will gain intimate and rarely-shared insights into how the studio's work gets made, including how ideas are unearthed and refined, and how the work is crafted for audiences.
