In this episode of Architecture, Design & Photography we sit down with Chris Kaspar, Founder & CEO of Techless.

Chris shares his journey of creating a company that focuses on developing smartphones with a mission to promote healthy technology usage. He discusses the need for a balance between hyper-connectivity and complete rejection of technology, and how Techless aims to provide a middle path called the 'healthy tech' path. The company's design philosophy, called SOPHIE, focuses on prioritizing face-to-face relationships, convenience, and meaningful communication.
