You may scream along to Rage Against the Machine, wailing that “the frontline is everywhere,” but those words have a deeper meaning than just being the refrain for a certified banger. While the media might lead us to believe war and desperation happen only in faraway lands, that’s very much not the case.

Stanley has worked in design for nearly two decades at global ad agencies, small startups, and boutique studios. He founded BeCurious in 2018 to create an agency that he felt didn’t quite exist in the design world. “I wanted something that focused on the team, mental health, stability, and happiness of not only our well-being but also the type of clients we work with and the type of projects we take on.”
