Neal Smith

Statement

A Mad Designtist, and agent of change

I believe that you cannot create without playing and that PLAY is actually the root of health, innovation, problem solving and, of course, design. By taking the time to play, it lets me re-learn how to engage and experience the world in entirely new ways. It repels convention and those that are frozen in the here-and-now. It’s taught me how to feel and trust my own intuition and beliefs.

What if you took the time to play? What would you create? A story? A crazy contraption? An entirely new world?

SO STOP….and PLAY WITH EVERYTHING.

-PLAY to create
-PLAY to challenge
-PLAY to focus
-PLAY to innovate
-PLAY to stimulate
-PLAY to connect
-PLAY to heal
-PLAY to see problems in new ways
-PLAY to add that random element

And most importantly

-PLAY for the joy of it
