UTC Design Students Connect Education and Industry:
Student-led Presentation on Recent Endeavors

A NEW HOPE: paper for humans
Blair Digital hosted the first of a two-part (and maybe more!) paper seminar on Sept 15. Due to a scheduling mix-up, we had the last minute change of venue from green|spaces to CreateHere, but Michael Mahaffey went the extra mile to make everyone feel well cared for – kudos Michael! Still, thirty five people turned out to learn more about paper.

A story of two paper mills. Each working to expand your paper options. Each dedicated to the
creative process. Two seminars presented by Blair Digital. Sign up to attend and find out how your paper options just got way better. We are very pleased to have both of these highly competent speakers from their respective mills. If you love paper like we do, you don’t want to miss this.

Episode 1
French Paper: Music To Your Eyes

In case you missed it, Michael Hendrix was back in town last week and offered an evening presentation about the inside culture of IDEO. Although it was nice to peer inside the walls of the Boston office and watch a few videos that team members have posted, the main theme I pulled from the night was the role of "playfulness" in design thinking. We should all embrace more experimentation in our work and above all, make failure just part of the process.
