We’ve been helping put this fun thing together — a 4-day design road trip curated by Civilization and FISK to take Seattle and Portland designers to Bend, Oregon for Bend Design and back.

Meals / lodging / transportation / shuttle bus / workshops / 3 days of tickets to Bend Design included.

The road trip will include stops in Seattle and Portland with design-related events and conversations. Full itinerary & tickets available at benddesign.org.

The conference itself is quite an exceptional opportunity. You can read an interview with me on the Bend Design blog talking about why I think this event is unique.

The Sorrento Sessions: “Next wave graphic design & branding”

Joshua Berger — Fri, 14 Aug 2015 06:48:22 +0000

What is the role of graphic design in shaping culture and community of the Pacific Northwest? And how can designers make an positive social and ecological impact?

I am looking forward to participating in this visually-driven panel in Seattle next week. Not really sure what the title “next wave graphic design & branding” means. I guess I will learn from the other panelists. I like the description that they wrote though. Shaping culture. Doing things that benefit other living beings. I like those things.

The panel was put together by Gray magazine in partnership with Interior Design Show West and IDSA. EVENT DETAILS: At the Sorrento Cocktails in the penthouse-level Top of the Town at 6 pm. Panel discussion starts at 7 pm. Most of these events sell out. Tickets at Eventbrite. Join us! PANELISTS (from top left): Michael Ellsworth, Civilization (Seattle) Jane Cox, Cause + Affect (Vancouver) Joshua Berger, Plazm (Portland) Gage Mitchell, Modern Species (Seattle)
