2 FAVORITE QUOTES:

❝

"I don't want people touching the thing I just designed. No collaboration. You can text me the feedback that you want, right?"

- Clifton humorously challenges the assumption that all design tools need to be collaborative

❝

"Today, the built world largely operates based upon run it to failure, wait to see what breaks. It's very reactionary. And so we provide a pathway to use our entire tech stack, robotics with sensor data and AI to give them the ability to be more thoughtful about what does the future look like."
