Open source design........the future?

About 2 weeks ago i was invited to take part in an open sourced design experiement with around 80 designers around the world. Although slow to start it was amazing to see people who have never met working together and achieving a good result at the end. I was able to work from home, for as long as i wanted with just the use of a laptop and internet connection and get paid for my contribution.

At a point in time when there's so much talk about pollution and climate change, taking my car off the road for a few days and eliminating the need for an office for me to work in seems to make a lot of sense. How this would translate into other vocations outside of design though i'm not sure, but its surely worth a shot.

A new project is due to begin soon, watch this space!

P.S. Thank you Napkin Labs for the opportunity!!
