Everyone wants to know how the story ends.
Besides being a Motion Director, I love building kinetic objects and immersive experiences. I am constantly seeking social disruption through curiosity.
The Power of Curiosity
Curiosity is a profound character strength, defined by an intrinsic desire to learn and explore new things. It serves as the foundation of creativity and innovation, driving individuals to seek knowledge, ask questions, and challenge established ideas. This desire for new understanding propels us forward, fostering progress and discovery.
Our curiosity drives us to keep watching. When we encounter something unfamiliar, we feel the need to understand it. This way, we open ourselves to innovation and change.
