Share your thoughts on Design and Community in a (post) COVID world

AIGA MN is hosting Moving in Place – a virtual town hall – giving members of the design community an opportunity to offer opinions, ideas, observations, and insights about how COVID and stay-in-place are impacting design, our community, the business of design, etc. and what we can do about it. 

In this future-focused community brainstorm, we tackle the issues and problems facing our community during this crisis. Like any design problem, we want to ideate together. We’d love to hear your ideas and thoughts on: 

  • How has COVID and stay-in-place changed your views on the future of design?
  • How can design make a difference in a post-COVID world?
  • What can designers do to impact our communities?
  • How can AIGA support the community and these ideas?
