On Wednesday, April 9, 2008 AIGA Chicago held their annual Fresh Talent event.
Fresh Talent 2008 highlights the work of three young Chicago-based female designers: Sue Daly, Dawn Hancock and Alisa Wolfson. The discussion centers on the city we call home as the three designers publicly reflect on their work and place within Chicago’s design history. Rick Valicenti of Thirst moderates, and asks each designer to begin their presentation by identifying a designer or designers who have come before them and with whose spirit theirs best aligns.
The presenters had much to share about how they came to be where they are now. With over 150 in attendance, many were inspired and set off to continue conversations afterwards. In attendance, as a volunteer for the event, was McGuffin Brendan Shanley.
