Taking cues from the great artisans of our past, today’s thinkers are recognizing synergies when art and science, creativity and analysis intersect. Globalization and technology offer more opportunities for designers of different disciplines to conspire. Conventional boundaries in business models are being busted or bridged.
Join us for brunch at “LA’s Best New Venue” and insights from a lineup of design leaders that represent a cross section of multiple disciplines including; architectural science, environmental graphics, visual imagery, branding, civic art, a product fabrication studio, and story-telling through experience design in public installations.
This event is open to the public – all interested parties and the design community are welcome!
