Hugo Pilate


Statement

There is nothing more magical than to see algorithms unfold, strangers collaborate, thoughts come to life and life to come to thoughts.

Design has allowed me to create tools and develop habits for myself and others that allow us to both inquire, to poke around, and to make any possible insight that manifests itself actionable.

This requires asking the right questions at the right time, rapid prototyping, inventive role playing— while making sure everyone involved has room to express themselves. Above all it requires gallons of collaboration.

“Don’t make things, make things happen.”

(paraphrased from Kenya Hara)
