I’m very honored to be a participant in the Aspen Design Summit:
AIGA and Winterhouse Institute are joining forces to stage the Aspen Design Summit in November 2009 and galvanize the global design community to engage in projects that promote social change. The goal is to foster collaboration and collective action among the participants to utilize the power of design to help solve large social problems. This summit is supported by the Rockefeller Foundation through a grant to develop collective action and collaboration for social impact involving the design profession as catalysts for solutions.
