episode Building Forma Designs Collective: Collaboration, Craft & Scaling From Home cover

Building Forma Designs Collective: Collaboration, Craft & Scaling From Home

This week, Chris is joined by George Brown, founder of Forma Designs Collective in Aberdeen. We discuss how Forma evolved from a university project into a growing business, the realities of building a creative company from home, and how production has gradually taken over every spare bit of space, including industrial machines running almost constantly from a spare room/workshop. George also talks about the importance of reusability in design, working with other creatives, and what’s coming next for the brand.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
