August Newsletter

Autumn is creeping up but it's gorgeous outside and summer is still hanging on for a wee while.

It's another quiet month, but there is something in the works near the end of this month. Keep an eye out on @CodingGrace

There's two great design upcoming design conferences, first up it's HybridConf and it's on Aug 20th - 21st at The Helix (DCU). They have 40% female attendees, which is pretty awesome! Tickets and info >>>

The second on is called Rebase and it's on Sep 30th - Oct 2nd at Royal Hospital Kilmainham and NCAD. Tickets and info >>>

Here's my reading selection for August, if you have any to share, do let me know.

Any enquiries, drop us an email at contact@codinggrace.com.
