Global Innovations For 2024- Let's Catch Up #52
Innovation, design, sustainability news focused on product and packaging across consumer goods, FMCG, automotive, electronics, medtech, aerospace and more!
Wow! Here we are at #52, 52 weeks of Let’s Catch Up newsletter covering over 300 new innovations, designs, technology, sustainability, product and packaging!
Thank you to all my supporters that have been on the journey. This weekly newsletter has kept me sane, connected and inspired to continue on my new business journey. Some of the highlights:
1. Engagement: Readers reaching out, engaging and even a couple of collaborations!
2. Accountability: Continued to drive me to show up every Monday and release the newsletter.
3. Inspiration: Seeing good design, innovation every week helped me stay inspired through the first year of business.
At 52 weeks or 1 year of Let’s Catch Up, I will be taking a pause on the weekly newsletters as I evaluate priorities in 2025 with my time becoming more limited. This newsletter will still be live in the form of quarterly or half year updates on Annular Design, Industry, events and news. I hope you have been inspired and the previous 51 weeks of content will always be live to go back and look upon!
