AIGA Diversity & Inclusion Panel
I have been an active member of the Philadelphia branch of AIGA, sitting on the Diversity and Inclusion committee. I produced events bringing together diverse groups of people to engage about the future of design.
In my time on the committee I organized Through A Prism: Why Diversity Matters in Tech and Design, a panel discussion about why diversity and inclusion matter so vitally in the fields of design and technology. I recruited nationally known thought leaders for the summit, coordinated with speakers and the moderator to create topics, aligned schedules, and arranged travel and accommodation. I selected a venue and coordinated the catering, setup, and day-of logistics. I worked with managers of social media as well as with the national branch of AIGA to film and document the event, as well as promote across multiple channels. The event was affiliated with the national chapter's initiative, as well as Philly Tech Week.
