Hello friends,
Happy National Design Week! Lot's of design, lots of awards, talks, and conferences happening this week.. But really isn't that just the surface? What about the group collaborations happening all over the city? Where the actions are living up to the talk. So in that spirit, check out the Design: Salon meetup, an opportunity to bring your work into the open. Present your "design projects in progress" to a panel of experts and other passionate designers. The result is disruptive innovation and a chance for you to get out of your cave.

Enjoy your week,

Brielle
