Happy International Women’s Day! Today we’re celebrating the amazing, skillful women at Mithun and those we collaborate with at partner and client organizations. We are also thinking of women around the world who face greater restrictions on their freedoms and sense of possibility. For all, we are driven to leverage design for positive change every day.
