I was initially looking for a design thought leadership to help spark a mindset shift within our Philippines executive team. After selecting Make Technology for our executive Design Thinking workshop, I must say I came in with high expectations.

Following the workshop and a subsequent design sprint, I remain impressed by the quality of their design offering.

I wasn't disappointed. Following the workshop and a subsequent design sprint, I remain impressed by the quality of their design offering.
