Speaking Engagement

This past Wednesday at the Windup Space, Guy Arceneaux and I gave presentations for Aquent’s first roundtable discussion event. The evening was focused on a dilemma I think many print designers are finding. The print market is over saturated with designers, and the web market is in need for more designers. Based in print design, I have been transitioning more into web because of a need for my job and my own personal curiosity.

I was invited recently to speak at the Design Conversation meeting in October. This month’s topic will be “Shrinking Cities.”

Baltimore’s population has been declining for a decades. Once a city of more than 1 million people, it is now a mere 600,000. Vacant lots and dilapidated buildings line the city’s streets. Can we use design in creative ways to revitalize these spaces?
