I just received this email from DWR (Design Within Reach) and thought it was a strong way to (1) engage with prospective talent and/or consumers; (2) send a message about social accountability; and, (3) communicate what DWR stands for - fun, design, creativity, innovation, connection, and a love for design. Take a look - what do you think?
