Boris was a panellist at Design x Engineering Co-Lab
Our Co-CEO, Boris Bozic, was one of three expert panellists who spoke at the first Design x Engineering Co-Lab on Design Systems, in Sydney. We’re proud to have his serious design systems knowledge at the helm of our design-engineering practice. Thank you for the words of wisdom and experience shared by the other panellists Dominik Wilkowski and Maria Christley; and to Morgan Fletcher for MC-ing the event, and Atlassian for hosting us with an impressive pizza spread. We’ll be there for the next.
