Before we start reflecting on the year we’ve had, we’d like to take this opportunity to say sorry for being so blogging absent on here. Our poor blog, fallen victim to our busy schedules. That’s not to say we haven’t missed it – we really have! And right here right now we promise, in the name of design, the brand and our holy readers, that we will ramp things up next year.
To quote our 2018 round-up, “we know we sound like a broken record, but last year had to be our busiest to date”. Some things never change, and we’re super grateful for that. It’s been an incredible year at the studio, working together with epic clients old and new from all industries: food and drink, construction, the third sector, property, beauty, public services, health and wellness… all to be revealed on our website next year.
But whilst some things never change, some things definitely do. We started this year as a 6 and we’re finishing as a 10! It’s all systems go but in true designdough fashion, we’ve had a heck of a laugh along the way. So here goes, our 2019 highlights.
