Connect Lecture Series: Jay Wall, RallyRally
Monday, September 30, 2019, 12:00 pm
Design can't save the world, but it just might help. As the principal and creative director of a design studio that works exclusively on social change projects, Jay Wall shares RallyRally's approach to amplifying the impact of forward-thinking organizations through design. He pulls back the curtain on RallyRally's process, tells stories about projects and discusses the challenges of running a business at the intersection of design and the public good. As a small studio, how does it land major projects with organizations like UNICEF? How can designers present serious subject matter in visually-engaging ways that portray all people with dignity? Can graphic design actually help improve lives? Wall dives into these topics and makes the case that we can go further when we go together. Free.
