Celebrating innovation this Black History Month: Lonnie Johnson and the Super Soaker, As teachers inspire the next generation of creative problem-solvers, stories like Lonnie Johnson’s serve as powerful reminders of where curiosity, ingenuity and perseverance can lead. Lonnie Johnson’s journey began long before the creation of one of the world’s most popular toys.

Stephanie Tomlison at Bulletproof Design, Bulletproof is an international strategic design brand agency which ‘exist to vanquish design mediocrity and make brands more commercially successful’. This is where I undertook my residency and straight away, I was stunned by the culture of bulletproof- bringing together ‘heart and hustle’ through their pool of talented workforce.
