Hi everyone! Now that the mulled wine, sweet treats and Christmas gift-giving is nothing but a sweet memory (maybe the new year's resolutions are too? 🤭), it's time to look ahead to 2020. As a company, we're making some big changes this year, and I can't wait to share it all with you.
For now though, here are some interesting thoughts from NYPR's Chris Hardtman about building and leading a design team. Grab a cuppa and have a listen, she knows what she's talking about 👌
Have a great week!
