Yes; they were these things. Nothing extreme. Like anyone, they varied. There were days of mistakes and laziness and in-fighting, and there were days, good days, when by anyone’s judgment they would have to be considered clever. No one would say that what they were doing was complicated. It wouldn’t even be considered new, except for maybe in the geological sense.
They took from their surroundings what was needed and made of it something more.

My name is Jaime Calayo and I’m a graduate of the Strategic Foresight and Innovation masters program at the Ontario College of Art and Design. My exploratory approach to strategic communications and public engagement pushes me to communicate socially complex issues in innovative and emotionally impactful ways. I believe change comes from the public and that my role is to provide the tools and frameworks to those I work with to design that change for themselves. If you enjoy working on projects like these I encourage you to drop me a line.
