Diversity in design is an issue we all face, whether it’s in who we hire, where we work, or what brand guidelines dictate. How do creatives move beyond selecting the right photo to create a more diverse environment? AIGA Philadelphia is proud to present Shani Sandy, a creative and thought leader, on the challenges of bringing diversity to life in the design world. Join us as she shares her ideas formed though research and hands on experience. Following the lecture we'll have Q + A and networking.
