What got you here, won’t get you there! At some point in a design business’ journey to success, you will need to break your business in order to make (or re-make) it. If you aren’t prepared to disrupt your own business you risk being left behind as new players come into the market with new and better ideas.

Join Vince Frost, CEO & ECD of Frost*collective and Andy Bateman, Founder and CEO of Everyone, as they unpack the common challenges faced by many creative businesses. Whether you are a striving business or a start up, this talk will inspire you to re-design your business in an increasingly disrupted market.

Date: September 8, 6:00pm for 6:30pm start
Address: Frost*collective, 16 Eveleigh St, Redfern

Book your ticket here.

“Break It To Make It” is presented as part of this year’s Sydney Design Festival.

Come in early and enjoy a drink! All deFrost guests will receive a 10% discount at Cake Wines Cellar Door, just next door, during the event.

A collective vision: The whimsical workplace with Intuit, COX and MillerKnoll

Stepping into Intuit’s Sydney workplace certainly doesn’t feel like walking into an office. Why? In this film, we discover that, when joy takes precedence as a design driver, even a high-performing commercial CBD headquarters can feel like an intuitive wonderland that invites employees to choose their own adventure.

The difference between music and noise is partly how we feel when we hear it. Similarly, the way people respond to an indoor space is based on sensory qualities such as colour, texture, shapes, scents and sound.
