It's All About Design
Design is the bridge between your executive presence and the perceptions that others have about you. Brands are experienced both tangibly and intangibly and comprise the mix of perceptions that float around companies and individuals. Sustainable design allows a brand to adopt over time and change those fragments into value and ideas into reality.
