Alliances mean opening yourself to newer perspectives and ideas. It is, in my opinion, a sure way of enriching knowledge and erasing blind spots. Design also needs to be socially and environmentally relevant and thingsevents both positive and negative happening in the world around you tend to spark creativity. It was this discovery that conceived the idea of Design Matrix and in the past one year, we have shared the experience with you through all our issues. As we prepare for our anniversary, it’s your encouragement that keeps us going. Do keep those communication portals open.
