Earlier this month I had the pleasure of co-hosting a retreat for senior design leaders, at a beautiful country house hotel in the Cotswolds. The group was comprised of Heads and Directors of Design from a range of well-known brands.

We’re on a mission to find out the real state of design in organisations in 2019. Take our quick anonymous survey to join in. We’ll be publishing our findings soon.
