## Resource

📍 Recorded Live at NeoCon/Design Days 2025 What if design wasn’t about fitting in—but about reflecting who we really are? In this episode of Create A Place, Kristina sits down with Oren Sherman—artist, educator and workplace innovator—to explore why the next era of design is rooted in individuality, customization and belonging. They dive into: Why one-size-fits-all workplaces no longer work How small design choices—like color and graphics—can shift how people feel Why listening matters more than assuming what employees need How creativity often comes from stepping away and opening your mind Why manners in design are simply about helping people feel at ease It’s a thoughtful, story-rich conversation about dignity, belonging, and creating places where people feel seen. And Oren gives us a glimpse of what’s next in workplace design through his inventive 3D pattern technology—turning static surfaces into dynamic, immersive experiences. 🎙️ At the heart of it: Oren reminds us that great design has the power to both create and transform.
