from Imagine a Place · host Dan Mahboubian Rosen, David Schwarz, Wesley Edmonds
Join host Wesley Edmonds for part two of In the Room at ICFF, where design meets humor, emotion, and experience in unexpected ways.

Through his unique lens, Dan explores how comedy can shift our understanding of space and spark new ways of thinking. Then, Wesley sits down with David Schwarz, Co-Founder and Creative Partner at HUSH, to talk about designing immersive environments that do more than look good—they make people feel something.
