DB wins Most Creative Design Company of the Year at Creative Circle 2022

This year, Simren Degun, Designer at our London studio, travelled to Dreamland Margate to attend the UK Creative Festival - an event with speakers, panels, and workshops to connect, educate, and inspire the community.  

“I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to attend such amazing talks on industry-changing topics. We all know we have a long way to go in terms of diversifying the industry however, it is so exciting to see the important conversations starting to happen on a bigger scale which is stirring up action amongst young creative talent. My key takeaways are: We need to guide and push our brands to drive representation. It is sometimes seen as a scary political point, but we need to reframe it to be as simple as realistically representing our society. In the industry, we need to ensure people are not just ‘hired but not heard’ as a diversity tick box exercise. We need to work together as allies to put in place resources and infrastructure to help level up those individuals at an accelerated rate.”
