Join us for our 4th SHIFT, an event showcasing sustainable design thinking and practices through 10 engaging, inspiring and informative 5-minute presentations.
What is sustainable design? It’s about re-thinking creative solutions to better communicate social and environmental messages to businesses and consumers—through actions like elevating green brands in the market, to smarter strategies that reduce waste and reach the right customer, to wise materials selection, to more authentic communication of the issues.
Join us at Ecotrust for our third “SHIFT: A Green Salon” to hear 10 five-minute presentations from creatives and innovators that are making visual communications better and more sustainable. This inspiring and educational evening will also include a short Q&A, mingling, and giveaways – while enjoying fresh local cupcakes from Peach Cheesecake and 52 Ltd. and beer, which is *free* if you bring your own mug and are older than Taylor Swift.
