AIGA Design for Good: A Dialogue on Creative Social Change, Oct. 15

AIGA Design for Good: A Dialogue on Creative Social Change

When: Wednesday, October 15, 2014 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM

Where: Frye Art Museum, 704 Terry Ave, Seattle

What: Design for good is an important movement in the global design community, but what exactly does it mean and how can you become a part of it? How does design thinking come into play when it comes to solving social problems?  How can you make an impact and still make a living? We are starting the conversation here in Seattle and want to invite you to become a part of it.

Join AIGA Seattle Wednesday October 15, 2014 at the Frye Art Museum, as we start to define what design for social change means in the Seattle design community. We are bringing together a multidisciplinary panel of graphic designers, strategists, business owners, and product designers to open up the conversation and share what it means for them in their professional lives.

Perspectives will be presented on funding self-initiated projects, working with non-profit clients, the importance of corporate social responsibility for large companies, running your own design firm focused on social change, leading an in-house creative department of a global non-profit, and product design that improves people’s lives. We look forward to a lively Q&A following the panel.

Let’s start the conversation together.
