To mix it up we like to get people together. Sometimes this is big, sometimes small. See images and links to past Design Kompany events below.

What is community?
Lightfoot
We’re into branding, and we’re into getting people together. So we thought it would be interesting to try to get people together to talk about branding. A series of events kicked off in March with a focus on marketing in the era where people are trying out a bunch of new things to see what sticks. Keep an eye out for new things we’ll co-sponsor at LightfootBranding.com.
Designers Korner
Designers Korner is now on first Tuesdays at Vermillion, an art gallery and bar in Capitol Hill.
