In October 2025, bryant joined a group of about a dozen creatives to honor David Kelley—founder of IDEO and the Stanford d.school—during an intimate, performance-based celebration beneath the lights of Bing Concert Hall on Stanford’s campus. As both an advisor to the d.school and a featured artist in its book Creative Hustle: Blaze Your Own Path and Make Work That Matters, bryant was invited to contribute a performance inspired by Kelley’s guiding philosophies. For the occasion, he created “Recipe for Staying Curious,” a multimedia piece blending spoken word, video, rhythm, and ritual. Framed as a creative manifesto, the work invited audiences to approach life with openness, experimentation, and joy—echoing Kelley’s “Creative Essentials” such as “Radical collaboration” and “Don’t procrastinate, prototype.” The event, marking both Kelley’s 50 years at Stanford and the d.school’s 20th anniversary, celebrated the spirit of creative inquiry that continues to shape how we think, make, and imagine together. bryant is excited that the written version of his “Recipe for Staying Curious” will be included in a forthcoming book by author and poet Kwame Alexander.
