Hasta La Ideas

Design for America (DfA) has been busy these last few months, whether leading workshops at universities across the nation and at ABWBD, winning design awards, being featured on the cover of Fast Company magazine, and, of course, a articles feature right here on Core77. In short, Design for America is launching a design revolution all across America, inspiring young designers to take ownership of social problems in their communities and working to solve them with innovative solutions.

During this past week, all eight of Design for America’s flagship studios have gone live. These studios are hosted at: Barnard/Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Northwestern, RISD/Brown, Stanford, UCLA, and UO Eugene. Student leaders from each studio attended a Summer Leadership Studio at DfA Headquarters at Northwestern, which included a surprise visit from Massive Change author (and Core77 Design Award winner) Bruce Mau.
