We Went to DesignThinkers Vancouver!
At the end of May, Team Fusion had the opportunity to visit Vancouver and attend the DesignThinkers conference on the west coast. Our trip was filled with enriching experiences, from exploring the beautiful city, to bonding as a team and absorbing invaluable insights at the conference.

7 Signs it’s Time for a Refresh
Do you remember back in 2015 when Google updated their logo from a serif to a sans serif font? Maybe after almost 10 years you’ve forgotten. But back then there was a lot of debate about why such a successful company would ruin their brand, while others praised the update. Even with a smaller audience than Google, the question of when it’s time for a refresh — either to your brand as a whole or just your website — can still hang over you as the decision maker. Which is why we’ve decided to compile this list of tips on how to determine if it’s time for a change.

We Went to DesignThinkers TO!
The Fusion team was fortunate enough to attend what became the biggest DesignThinkers conference the RGD has had to date. We had such a great time, we wanted to take the opportunity to share our experiences and what our big takeaways were.

Underground Design
We were asked by RGD Canada to participate in their country-wide virtual studio crawl. We were pretty excited about sharing our workspace(s) with everyone. And while we don’t have a typical office—we thought it would be interesting for others to see how the hybrid thing works for us.
Remember 2018? That was five years ago.
That’s when we started to think about a new website. We started. Stopped. And got busy. We even had the initial prototype coded and just didn’t finish it. Then COVID happened. Time may have lost all meaning then. But in 2022, we kicked things into gear—finally!
