Essay question - How does good design add value to independent coffee shops in Leeds? 

No that I have my research question I am able to start looking for sources that will help shape my essay. I will be looking to find information about how design can benefit a business, not matter what size. I will also try and identify people that I can interview to get an insiders perspective on the coffee scene in Leeds.
