“Radical Innovation was a life changing event to me with all what that means. Since 2015, my life has never been the same. Left home, got my Masters scholarship from UNLV, my thesis got shortlisted for another global design challenge and I got the chance to share it with the Boring Company-Elon Musk’s Infrastructure Foundation, I met and talked to people I never expected I’ll get the chance to meet with. RIA was the door that opened all this to me.“
