“I have always believed that we all deserve good design in our lives and good design makes our lives better. Working with Simon Warden on Lost & Foundry has been a great experience for myself personally and our organisation, the finished project gives me joy each time I see it being used. I think with this project we have created a snapshot of history and we will be looking back in generations to come at not only an innovative fundraising idea brought to life but how creatives are being shown for the force they are in service to social change.
