We had the distinct privilege of attending the OFFF creative festival at the Contemporary Arts Center on October 28, 2011. It was a collective of visionary minds, aesthetic geniuses, tech junkies, and people with an unwavering committment to making amazingly cool things.

We were particularly inspired by a simple, profound comment by Julien Valle: “If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with something original.” This notion of trial, experimentation, exploration, and yes! Being ready to fail. It underscores the work we do every day. To be better. Do something unexpected. Effective. Meaningful. Inspirational.
