We attended the Toronto conference at the beginning of November. This is the event for Canadian designers—a chance to hear from the industry’s top talent, gain inspiration, explore trends, and connect with our vibrant community. This year was especially significant, as the RGD celebrated 25 years of hosting this incredible conference. The Fusion team has been part of this tradition for 18 of those years, and for me personally, this marked my 20th time attending (where does the time go?!).

I believe that as designers it’s important to constantly be working on expanding the way we think and our perception of the world. Part of how I practice this habit is by reading. Reading opens your mind to perspectives, cultures and ideas that you may not have had any insight on before. As a designer you can then use this knowledge to relate to different audiences and provide solutions that make a positive impact on the world.

This September, Fusion is celebrating its 29th anniversary, making nearly 3 decades of creativity and growth. To commemorate this very special occasion, we took some time to reflect on each of our journeys as a part of the Fusion team.

With the explosion of smart gadgets, making websites user-friendly on all devices has become crucial. When we talk about responsive design in web development, we don’t mean speed. Instead, we’re talking about making websites that adjust smoothly to different screen sizes, ensuring content is easy to read and interact with. Whether users are on a laptop, tablet, or smartphone, it’s up to us as designers and developers to make sure everything looks and works great across all devices.
