Thanks for coming along to our 4th of July Party
I would like to thank everyone who helped make the Design Mixer Party a success.
YEH studio was packed all afternoon with designers of many types.
I spoke to product designers, an engineer who designed electronics on the Mars rover vehicle, architects, interior designers, graphic designers, packaging designers, design educators, advertising, marketing managers, modelmakers, furniture designers and design students.
Events like this turn online LinkedIn discussions into meaningful long term business and personal relationships. We made some new friends and business contacts and caught up with some old friends.
Thanks to generous support from our friends at Evil Monito Magazine.
We are already planning the next event.
