DINZ pro bono work part of big design push

Here at The Pond we LOVE design. Which is why Leighton has put Sue's hand up to help DINZ on its re-branding journey.

Right now, she's helping Grant Alexander, from Studio Alexander, to flesh out the new DINZ strategy document. Apparently, it's all about creating the right environment for New Zealanders to pursue design excellence (more on this in the months to come).

Sue's also signed us up as DINZ platinum sponsors. We want to see DINZ work because we really believe in NZ design…if DINZ can lift clients' understanding of design and how it can drive bottom lines, then we all win. But doing so will require a team effort so we all need to get behind DINZ and help out where we can. That's our take anyway.

Meanwhile, Leighton's been busy wining and dining four designers to expand the options available to our clients. It's a tough job but someone had to do it (sorry, Sue).
