Recent activities:
Plans attempted in 2014: We conducted interviews with clients, participants and others familiar with our work to assess the interest in and readiness for: The Design Studio Series…including, The Design Charrette. Unfortunately, there was insufficient interest to offer this opportunity. If there were renewed interest, we might re-consider such an offering in the future
