Conversations

People are my rockpools.

There is something wonderful about meeting people without assuming you already know what you will find. A conversation might begin with someone's work, a discovery, a habit, a disagreement, an experience or an unexpectedly ordinary detail. It might lead toward the way they learn, the decisions they have made, the things they protect, or the expectations they have chosen to question.

We want to meet people who are curious and people who make us curious. Artists, scientists, educators, inventors, makers, writers, founders, thinkers and people whose most interesting stories are rarely asked about. We are especially interested in what makes someone happy to be themselves.
