Henry Julier

Henry Julier finds passion for design by approaching problems from the standpoint of people and time.

Julier’s work is simplistic, beautiful and sustainable.

“I’m also passionate about designing for the needs of people both in the present and in the future. I usually begin a project by thinking about how a design could adapt itself to the needs of people over a long period of time, taking those ideas with me as I explore different forms and concepts.”

Make sure to check out all his products, including the Hit Me interactive light.

I moved to a new place in ATL

smoochie-day

Love is like cocaine. Well okay maybe not exactly, but when you fall in love, “exactly the same system becomes active as when you take cocaine.”

Scientists at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York have been performing MRI brain scans to understand the how love controls humans. Love is “a drive that’s based deep within our brains, right alongside our urges to find food and water.”

Some interesting findings…
