What are Local Groups?
Local Groups will expand your career network—whether you are interested in learning new skills, finding job opportunities or looking for a new employee.
A Local Group is a group of people who, like you, are passionate about design. Local Groups organize meetings to get inspired, have fun and learn from one another.

Meetup Details

Come join us as we expand what it means to "interact" with art and design!

This in-person event will feature speakers Michael Townsend and Leah Smith of the studio Tape Art. They specialize in designs which defy traditional ideas of what a "target audience" is and push the limits of how a user may engage with art and design.

You may know Michael as the brains behind the Hidden Apartment in the Providence Place Mall, which is now documented in a feature-length theatrical film!

This will be an in-person meetup, with details on location and time found at the RSVP link below:

I hope to see you all there!
