We came across this article today and found it most relavent. An easy read about culture and its relationship with designers that we would recommend to any designer, or creative for that matter. Interestingly, this article highlights a lot of questions we ask ourselves daily.
Being a multi-cultural studio is a great asset and value but it also poses a challenge in understanding and being respectful of differences. Coming from different parts of the world, it’s essential to get out and become part of the culture, not a separate entity.

Next week we’ll be having a sale on the mis printed tote bags from our last live screen printing session at Future Shorts (at Platoon). These are the four designs we were printing that day, all unique in their own way :) More info on Tuesday!
It’s great to know that you can meet friends with just a simple, “Hello”. Our first month here in Seoul (a while ago now) we came across Trvr. We got to know him and his friends as we camped out in front of the studio, sipping beers around a fire. (in the street I might add).
You may have seen the awesome Trvr X Pendleton collaboration in the past, there are a lot more great things coming out of the small studio to keep an eye out for!
