About Sean Dunwoodē:
"I consider myself a multi-disciplinary creative force for change. My experience as a Director, Producer, Designer, Maker, Influencer, Developer, and Artist give me the opportunity to establish a cutting edge, creative design in a variety of forms.

“My practice in creative implementation and innovative planning focuses on urban interventions and community forms of urban development. I believe in contextual knowledge, an original approach, and imagination as the basis for crafting new forms of appropriation of space, common producing, and creative development.

“In everything I do I bring a “stay creative” thinking to the table and aim to integrate the needs of the people, the possibilities of technology, and the genius of great experiences. I understand that creativity inspires and plays on our curiosity. This inspiration makes people want to hear more, learn more, and engage more.”
