Every day, I learn to become a better person, designer, manager, and agent of change. I surround myself with brilliant people and treasure relationships both personal and professional. I love design and have a ton of fun doing it.

- RAJIB ADHIKARY

CEO

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Design is knowing which ones to keep. The designer does not begin with some preconceived idea. Rather, the idea is the result of careful study and observation, and the design a product of that idea.

- APSARAN RAJA

VP, DESIGN

Every great design begins with an even better story. Design is intelligence made visible. Design is so simple. That's why it's so complicated. Good design is good business. The best way to accomplish serious design ... is to be totally and completely unqualified for the job.

- AMRITA ADHIKARY
