Refreshing a green giant Posted on December 21, 2017 by Simon Dunn

At the end of last year, Lukas Pospichal and Lenny Murphy came to us with an irresistible proposition… “…Will you redesign the GreenBook blog for us?”.  Having already redesigned the GRIT report and the GRIT logo, we knew what a great opportunity this would be to flex our creative muscles and, of course, work with the team at GreenBook again.
