INTELLECTUAL PARTNERS
Qdesign is such a smart operation that it aligns itself with a posse of people we call our “Intellectual Partners.” What they know could fill an encyclopedia, which is only one reason we like them. They’re also brimming with know-how – they get it done. Plus, they're a lot of fun to hang with, since they turn a typical brainstorming lunch into a tsunami of terrific ideas – especially if we’re picking up the tab.
