The day started with brainstorming, quick pitches, and team formation, followed by coding after lunch. It all wrapped up with project presentations and awards, showcasing some amazing creativity and teamwork!

A year ago, I broke my leg in an accident and was unsure if I'd ever be able to surf again. Fast forward to today, and I'm not only back to surfing but also hitting the gym, playing tennis, cycling, hiking and improving every day. Looking back, it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my family, friends, and loved ones. I’m incredibly grateful for how far I’ve come and for the people who helped me get here!

In my free time, you can catch me in art or architecture museums, but in September, I broke my leg ❤️‍🩹… 4 hours before the start of my surf vacation.

However this experience has given me an opportunity to reflect on how everything is designed (in terms of accessibility) in the city (Amsterdam), in our everyday lives and identify areas for improvement.

“TV commercials in the late ’70s and ’80s didn’t advertise the practical features of products, they were meant to build strategic corporate images. You might even say they took a musical approach in their visual expression, though perhaps that’s an overstatement” says Shimizu.

An inspiring essential, regardless of your music palate.
