From ‘COLLIDE’ Talk:
Here are my three tips to embrace collision: 
 
Firstly, collide familiar elements to create something unfamiliar. 
 
Secondly, employ head-on collisions to shatter conventions. 
 
And thirdly, recognize that collisions serve as catalysts that ignite bold changes. Collisions lead to invention.
