Emails are a way of life now. Whether we send long, detailed missives, carefully thought out and thoroughly checked, to a one liner, on the go, on our phone, they are one of the key ways to communicate. They are an efficient way of communicating with your client base...
We now never take on projects that don't personally interest us. If we don't get that feeling immediately, from experience, we know it's not for us. In the past, we had to take on projects which, if we are honest now, looking back, didn't float our boats at all. Our...
Just like that! Almost in the blink of an eye, the festive season is over and we're already back, designing. We hope that you, like us, had a thoroughly relaxing time, spent with family and friends. We feel thoroughly recharged after a couple of weeks of hosting...
Although we'll still be working this week, in the lead up to Christmas, we're going to be applying the brakes a little and affording ourselves a bit more of a festive holiday. This year we have family coming out to stay with us, and so as well as doing last minute...
