DINZ Designers Speak - This & That Tour
We were very fortunate and honoured to be invited to speak on the recent This and That speakers tour organised by the Designers Institute. Along with the charismatic Charlie Ward and enviably crafted Sarah Maxey we had fleeting but highly enjoyable visits to both Christchurch and Dunedin (Patrick particularly fell in love with Dunedin). Thank you so much to Cathy Veninga and Tracey Norris at DINZ for looking after us so well. It was great to see that design in NZ is being provided with such dedicated and passionate support from the Institute.
Thanks to Rebecca Gin for producing these pieces of awesomness.
