The new year is a good time for reflection and goal setting - and that's just what we've busied ourselves with (that and a lot of designing)!

Here are the major takeaways from our reflections:

Durham is our jam and we want to be a larger part of this amazing community of artist, startups, designers, and leaders through mentoring of new UX'ers and entrepreneurs. To that end, we're proud to announce that we'll be holding office hours for the

spring cohort!

In addition to spending more time in the content creation department, we want to make a bigger effort to engage, support, and hear your thoughts. Have a cool project you're working on? Want some advice about design best practices? We'd love to hear about it! Shoot us a message and let's chat.
