DA Pulse Check #5 – Conversations on Covid-19 and Aotearoa NZ Design

5 years ago by

Join us for a candid conversation on how Aotearoa NZ design studios are doing right now, how their business is being affected, and get advice for getting through the lockdown and into Level 3 as a design business.

Thanks to our principal partners Blutui, Streamtime, Portfolio Recruitment and mychillybin, each week of the category 4 lock down (and our transition through the other side) DA will hold a Pulse Check Conversation with a small group of NZ designers to check in with how the design community at large is doing and in the spirit of the DA philosophy to share information, ideas and inspiration to keep our community connected and stronger together.
This week: Louise Kellerman, DA Founder will be chatting with: Ben Reid from Milk, Elena and Gideon Keith from Strategy and Gray Rathgen from Jade Software.
Watch and listen to the recorded conversation… (Note: The video freezes at 16.55 minutes and restarts at 17.43 minutes)

For the next 24 hours, the panel will be answering questions through the DA article comments below. So please leave a question or a comment!

2025 Hot New Things: Bradley Jones, Whitecliffe College

Nothing is ever certain, but I’m excited about where it could take me in the future. Ultimately my aspiration is to be the best designer I can be, always learning, always curious, and always finding new ways to solve real-world problems and empower others through design.
