The design industry tends to be pretty homogenous and exclusive. During AIGA's annual SF Design Week, we hosted a panel at Odopod to talk about the challenges of diversity and inclusivity in the field of design, featuring speakers from local organizations addressing that challenge. I also helped to organize a simultaneous silent art auction that helped to raise funds for these local programs.
Logo Workshop at Greenleaf Elementary with Citizen Schools
Working with Citizen Schools, I developed a 1.5-hour workshop for a class of middle schoolers in hopes of introducing them to the idea of designing logos and understanding visual identities. We hoped to make this career that they ordinarily might never have known about, more understandable, accessible, and achievable.
