introducing The Index!
This is big, HUGE news! DesignSpeak has been working towards a bricks and mortar version of our organization for a little over 2 years! We have finally found the perfect location to start the ball rolling!
The Index (Design Resource Exchange “working title”) will be a central hub for the design community with meeting space, co-working space and a fully stocked architectural library. It will be the perfect place for design professionals to collaborate, learn about new products and expand on their network of resources. Centrally located in Maplewood, it will be within walking distance to existing design resources as well as restaurants and bars to continue “working” hours!
There is a lot of work involved in making this dream a reality but the payoff to you and the rest of the design community is immeasurable! The Index is a major manifestation of DesignSpeak’s mission and we are focusing all our energies on it this year. It’s a big goal but together, we can make it happen!
