We were happily surprised today to learn that we won gold at the Design Exchange Awards in Toronto last week. This was a particular honour, given the history and scope of this award show. Established in 1991, the DXAs are the only Canadian multi-disciplinary design competition to judge designers work on commercial effectiveness. Their mandate is to foster business and public understanding of the impact of design excellence on the economy and quality of life. The awards are presented by The Globe and Mail.
