News & Insights

"Having the opportunity to visit and collaborate with a client in Saudi Arabia, allowed our healthcare team to stretch in new ways. We tested our empathetic approach for the patient journey across cultures to unlock key design strategies. Our tenacity was apparent when we rescheduled our 2nd of the day work sessions to start at 10 pm at night through 2 am in the morning during Ramadan. We were blessed to experience great people and learn about a culture through new friends and tour of Old Jeddah." - Michael Lied
