WHY
At Stanford, you’re no stranger to building projects that scale fast and disrupt markets. But what if the most transformative ideas don’t come from chasing answers but from asking the right questions?

Artists don’t just solve problems; they redefine them, turning trends into canvases for new imaginaries and cultures.
