In 2001, I graduated from design school and went straight to New York. One of the eternal symbols of this city is Milton Glaser's iconic sign I ❤️ NY – we can talk a lot and expand on how brilliant this designer was – and how with a minimum of graphic elements he would kick the viewer's soft stomach.

In 2020 we started working with Haifa2030, A strategic body tasked with the municipality to implement innovation processes for the benefit of the city.
