It’s very difficult to comprehend that we are witnessing a superpower invading a European country right on our doorstep. We join the world in strongly and publicly condemning the violent invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Armed Forces.
Over the years our Warsaw office has worked with many talented freelance designers and coders from Ukraine, where there is a thriving design community. We stand with our friends, brothers and sisters and our thoughts are with the Ukrainian citizens as they fight bravely for the sovereignty of their nation.
We believe in the power of people coming together to learn and to solve big problems. Brisbane Agency is helping on the ground in Warsaw with the influx of Ukranian refugees arriving in Poland and trying our best to support where we can here. We hope you can take a little time to study the following organizations and find a way that you and your company can also get involved in this travesty and help out our friends in Ukraine. May our thoughts and hopes be with the people of Ukraine and align with our actions to support them.
