What’s Hot: Design Trends 2019

With every new year, comes an array of new trends, ways of thinking and designing. Last night we discussed what design trends will be taking over 2019. From thinking of you as a designer, how design will impact businesses and society our incredible speakers had it covered to the T! It was clear the discussions uncovered how you can incorporate a modern edge in your creative design. On behalf of the entire SODA Squad, we'd like to say a very warm thank you to Rakhi from McKinsey & Company, Niharika Hariharan from McKinsey & Company, Anish Joshi from Shell and Jonah Jones from Facebook. Not forgetting you, our community, candidates and clients who attended and made the evening another spectacular event.
