(sticK - 12 Jan. 2011 ) New Zealand may have a design culture - without us even realising it.
Clue, people from west coast America at recent user-experience design conferences reckoned that the menus at a West Coast café were more thoughtful than their counterparts in New York.
Optimal Usability's chief executive Trent Mankelow, who along with company colleagues attends up to 10 world design-oriented conferences a year, says that the quality of design work in New Zealand is the equal of anything in the world.
