In the three months following our time in Nairobi we came up with many different concepts, discussed them with each other, our friends and tutors, discarded them, came up with new ones and repeated that process time and time again.
This post is there to show a little glimpse of our work, and also to appreciate everyone who helped us out, whenever we got stuck.
