<\/div>\n
As Ingrid mentioned in her speech, it has been proven that those who work in more colourful office spaces are more confident and alert, and Youtube must have listened. The tech giant commissioned this work by Heather Day who’s work is full of colour and improvisation.<\/div>\n

To say that the airport can be a stress-filled location would be an understatement, but look how artist Amy Ellingson brings pops of colour to the space to create an aesthetic of joy!<\/div>\n
