Silicon Valley Product Design Company Acquires Pattern Tap, Design Inspiration Website
CAMPBELL, Calif., June 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Taking a step into crowdsourced design inspiration, ZURB, a Campbell product design company, is acquiring Pattern Tap, a web-based resource for design and product pattern examples.
ZURB views Pattern Tap as an ideal fit in its quest to "help people design for people." Designers are constantly on the lookout for new resources for design inspiration. The user-driven Pattern Tap property will provide a dynamic resource and outlet for ZURB fans to reference for ideas, share code snippets and style lists, and get inspired for whatever projects they may be working on. ZURB believes Pattern Tap will not only benefit designers, but help increase "design literacy" amongst non-designers as well -- so that everyone can understand the true value of design in almost any business setting.
