Every
social benefit organization
on the planet has the
technology resources
and knowledge it needs to operate at its
full potential.

A children’s toothbrush I designed with every
best intention to make my contribution to
the betterment of the human condition
through design was dropped on my desk, all
bleached and worn and encrusted with sand.
It had washed up on a remote beach in Baja
California in front of a friend of mine who
went to seek unspoiled nature and wild life
there.

interesting neighbourhood?

Oh – the neighbourhood?
Well…that’s outside!
