Tinder wants to extend a warm, smokey, possibly tequila-fueled welcome to this years IDSA conference. Drop us a note at meetTinder@tinderlab.com if you'd like to grab a coffee, a meal or other fine Portland-sourced beverage or foodstuff. 

We're proud and excited to announce that Val Stoffel has joined our team as Consumer Research Director. Head on over to our People section to learn more about her! 

Join us Wednesday October 28^th at the Frielick Gallery (in Portland) for an evening in honor of Portland Art Museum’s “China Design Now” exhibit.

 

Doug Cooke of Tinder and local design leaders share insights on design, architecture, retail & culture in China for an OFFICE PDX event + design, product, cocktails + networking!

 

The event will look across industries for unique perspectives on what’s hot in China and why, what Chinese consumers are asking for, how to collaborate with Chinese designers, and having a design office in China.

 

It should be a fun and interesting event if you have any interest in the current state of Design culture in China. Hope to see you there.

The R&D tax credit has been re-instituted, retro-actively for 2008 and through to the end of 2009 as a component of the $700b stimulus package approved last week. Why should you care? Well, it means a potential tax break on our fees. Talk to your tax professionals and finance people for more information.

Although I can't talk in detail about a project that we're bidding on, I think this picture gives you the idea. Nowhere does culture, technology, and 'business' come together like this one!
