Huge congrats to @davidywei, @ivanmelvin, and the rest of the @BrosaDesign team on launching the Studio+ Showroom in #Fitzroy. This is a really impressive space that showcases their best products and utilises great #technology to delight customers.
Crazy exciting how much change is happening in content and media. Unthinkable years ago but now possible when distribution is democratized.
