Talk at Royal Society of the Arts, London

Last night at the RSA sharing the byproduct of 4 years of communication design research: The Assembly For Communication. 
How can design(ers) support the flourishing ecosystem of small-scale local businesses mindful of their impact. How to empower these indispensable initiatives to communicate their values? How to leverage them to foster their qualities of sustainability? What happens when this story is co-created with the public as a shared narrative of the reality we want to live in? What happens when the qualities of sustainability become experienced, rather than just illustrated?

1.5 months to closure.... and underway to a whole new chapter of practice under a philosophy of Design Dharma. Individual and Collective. Research and Mesearch. Interwoven co-creations for the experiential qualities of sustainability.
