They discuss integrating local visual cultures into their design processes, challenging the dominance of Eurocentric design paradigms. The conversation explores how design can transcend commercial objectives to narrate personal stories, rich histories, and dynamic local realities, emphasizing the importance of cultural authenticity and collaboration in creating meaningful design solutions.
