Thank you for sponsoring our newsletter this week!
New consulting work is now closed for the year. We are grateful & honored to continue our practice.
After a challenging 2022 for us, this was a shockingly good year for Draft. We broke even on our base expenses in June. We launched a new book, which is now almost done. We operated mostly quietly, like we prefer, knowing that design is the only way to restore right relationship between business & customer.
Now & always, we seek conscious, aligned businesses to do the deep & necessary work of understanding & responding to their customers’ intent, at scale. We don’t bite. In fact, we’re rather fun to hang out with. Reach out, we’d love to chat about your 2024 plans.
