AIGA Honolulu is honored to have three nationally recognized designers join us for a morning to share their favorite work and talk about their process, the designer-client relationship, and work-life balance.

MORNING SESSION
9:30 AM CHECK-IN 

KELLI ANDERSON
Talk: "The Hidden Talents of Everyday Things"
New York, NY

Kelli Anderson is an artist/designer and tinkerer who is always experimenting with new means of making images and experiences. She draws, photographs, cuts, prints, codes, and creates a variety of designed things for herself and others. From interactive paper to layered, experimental websites, everything begins and ends in her New York studio which houses a 1919 letterpress and an assortment of other benevolent contraptions. She also teaches art history at Pratt every summer.

JAY FLETCHER
Talk: "Don’t Make Design So Difficult."
Charleston, SC

For the past 14 years Jay Fletcher has been living & working in Charleston, South Carolina as a graphic designer, illustrator, and art director. In 2004, as a means of burning off unused creativity, a budding freelance career took root as a late-night side gig. Kegs of coffee were brewed, momentum built, and now J Fletcher Design has a stable of clients ranging from Nickelodeon to his niece, work featured in international industry publications, and shelves of recognition from some of the design world’s most prominent voices.

LUNCH SESSION
11:45 AM CHECK-IN
