Designers who Care ’Äì Sunday at 10:45

Wouldn't it be nice to know that your design work is REALLY making a difference in the world? Or that you can get serious support and advice from other designers who are struggling with the same issues we all do (like how much to charge for your work, you know, those things that no one ever wants to talk about!)... Well, I am here to share with you how I am doing just that. No, this is not a self promotion session (it's really not about me...) but a session about the business of caring (working with non profits and cause related organizations ’Äì and actually making a profit! - yes, it IS possible...) and caring for business (helping each other in our design community and creating a support system we can turn to). So come by and learn how to earn some good karma points and feel really good about what we are doing on this planet. I will be talking about the work I do with non profits (OK, I'll show some of it too...) why my studio specializes in working in this industry and why I decided to dedicate my work to philanthropy after a decade of music industry work (believe me, it's not that sexy...). I will teach you the true meaning of PRO BONO work and how to get the most out of it and tell you about the great benefits of giving back to our own community by creating your own tribe of designers to tap into (true stories here people!...). Come on by, get inspired and go out there to make a difference!...
