“In the IDEA program, I found myself working on infographics and experiential campaigns that were geared at trying to find novel ways of capturing people’s attention, keeping them engaged, and trying to improve their mental state. I also loved thinking about how people respond to colours and patterns and what sort of emotions these tend to elicit.”
