Be The First to Know
Do you love being the first to hear about new products? Do you wish you could attend all the design shows, but don’t have the time or budget — or, do you attend shows but still find you miss seeing some of the coolest new products because you ran out of shoe leather? Would you love to hear about other designers’ experience with a product before specifying it? Do you wish you had a private place to talk with colleagues about design challenges, marketing ideas, social media, business strategies and more?
