Paul Reijnierse is a passionated interaction designer, together with two friends he set up the design studio De Monsters. Through their work they saw a problem for managing the workflows and decision making during the design process.

If you need new business cards, you normally have to talk to your designer, let him make a few layouts, then check his layouts and choose one or let him make some changes, and finally let it be printed. Same procedure if your address changes. That consumes already a lot of time and also money. Even more time and money it takes for other communication materials like flyers or presentations.
