During that time, he has also been a super-contributor to the design community at large through Core77: moderating our a href=”http://boards.core77.com/”discussion forums/a (as a href=”http://boards.core77.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofileu=28″Yo/a), producing design events, blogging, and producing a series of “5 minute” a href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/broadcasts/core77_showtell_converse_design_director_michael_ditullo_sketches_a_sneaker_in_4minutes_10334.asp”sketcha/ a href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/broadcasts/core77_demo_converse_design_director_michael_ditullo_sketches_a_chair_in_5minutes_11608.asp”videos/a.
