Timothy Stanley: I'm just so thankful for you and for doing this. You know, it's really hard work because I keep telling people that the difference is tech. The more folks that they kind of talk about this, it will only help to continue to climb the ranks. So, you know, well done, sir. Thanks.
Tim Hykes shines a light on black designers. He shows us how an inspiring idea, and a lot of hard work can make a huge impact. He inspires us to challenge everything, especially the status quo. He motivates us to not wait to be asked to solve a problem, but to be a self-starter and solve it. He also teaches us how being a great designer starts with being a great person.
