The collaborative design process can get messy—particularly when the work is free. And, when approached with grace and humility, it can also help us become more conscientious, compassionate accomplices in the movement to build a more just world. Nermin Moufti and Kristin Lueke, the duo that led the branding process for Onward, a 2020 Fast Company Innovation by Design finalist, reflect on lessons learned from the project, completed while at Firebelly as part of the studio’s Grant for Good. Zoom link will be provided via email prior to the event.
