Episode Synopsis

The fifth episode of this season of It's The Small Things welcomes Black+Blum co-founder and lead designer, Dan Black.  When Black+Blum launched 21 years ago, there was no limit to the types of product it would manufacture – but the business lacked direction and a clear brand identity. Dan took over the reins in 2014 and started to steer the business towards the food and drink on-the-go market. Four years later, he made the bold decision to step down from running the company and brought in an external MD.
