2015 Reader Survey

I skipped out on doing a reader survey last year, mainly because it was March before I thought about it and I like to take care of this sort of business right at the start of the year. I want to make Design Crush the best possible experience for you, so I’d greatly appreciate it if you took a few minutes and completed this super simple survey. (But first, go ahead and say that five times fast. Just for funsies.) I’ll be selecting one of you at random to send a box of goodies to as a thank you, so go ahead and leave your email address in the comment box at the end of the survey form for a chance at it! (Email addresses are for contact purposes only and will not be utilized in any other way.) A big thank you for reading Design Crush and helping me keep my dream job alive and thriving!
