Unexpected Reds
Here‘s this week issue of S P A C E. There was a time on this blog I wrote about ‘Time to Go’ and put a picture from Chocolat. I wonder if the folks who read DK’s blog in 2009 in Seattle would remember it, if I told them about it, today. The going…

Welcome to Design Kompany, your neighborhood shop for clarifying ‘Who am I’
Ready to start a new social media campaign, or to rebrand, or to step up your efforts to communicate with the world more clearly, more convincingly, and more authentically the value of what you do? This will start with getting a very clear understanding to yourself, firstly, about why it matters. Starting to think that…

Designers Korner | ‘Generation X’
This is a conversation salon for a maximum of 4. It’s for designers, especially those who are working remotely and in a nomadic way. I’d like to hear perspectives on design, how it’s changed, what you think has stuck or not stuck, based on a Generation X perspective. This is not for any kind of…

Is Brand Message Strategy right when prospects won’t convert? A detailed review
I’m writing this for those of you who are in business for yourself, have five to fifteen employees, a decent set of experiences under your belt already, and something feels… off. Put more clearly, that something is not just ‘off’, but rather, the feeling that there’s not a full deck of cards is rooted in…

Art for art’s sake, here is Issue #203: S P A C E | ‘Discovery’
This issue’s lead story is ‘Bathtime,’ by Quan Nguyen. The inside pages contain found bits and pieces from around the web highlighting how to think outside the boxes. Creativity, innovation, and making space for letting things happen. That’s Atelier S P A C E’s goal, and the contents this issue set up the meaningfulness of…

Identity | A 1-question litmus test for self-awareness
Meeting new people all the time because you know that networking is important for finding new people whom you might click with is this activity I used to be into, but, since the time of the pandemic days, I have neatly cast to the side. Largely. One day, however, I did gather myself to inquire…

Zines, ‘Artifacts of connexion’
S P A C E is a weekly e-mag, but it started like any other zine Personally. I wanted to say what I wanted to say. I learned from S P A C E projects the art of the moment, winging it and changing courses when you feel the flow changing. Going with…

Field trip to District 10
It’s a day out for me from my usual routine. Where I go, what I do, whom I meet; these things are all thrown into the air, today, as I do the thing that Situationism calls for: wander. Drift, so to speak. Going where the going takes you. Like this: I learned some new vocabulary…

Issue #115
DK’s internet-based conversation in one of our online circles is happening, and it’s about ‘Beauty.’ In our innermost circles of S P A C E we explore together topics like: the Japanese idea of ‘shibui’; everydayness; street museums; simple materials; and, of course, the meaninglessness and absurdity as well as profundity of being-here, itself.

‘Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard’
I was listening to this song on a yellow radio that only had a few channels and was super staticky, in a studio in a school in Brooklyn where I was ‘living in New York City once.’ That was 1999. I was doing some screentprinting. Weirdly, the things that I was making then, on that…

20 February | DK at Festival of the Photocopier
Melbourne-based Sticky Institute hosts its world-famous (amongst us who make zines, anyway) Festival of the Photocopier next week. DK will be in it! DK was there last year in the real life version, thanks to our collaboration with a Melbourne based teammate that year, Nicki Duncan. For 2021, we’ll launch a very special zine collection. This…
