Please join us this week for two amazing opportunities! AIGA Toledo is helping sponsor a visit by Antionette Carroll, CEO and founder of Creative Reaction Lab, and former Chair of AIGA’s Diversity & Inclusion Task Force. Antionette is a social entrepreneur, equity designer, international speaker/educator, and diversity, equity, and inclusion specialist. As a pioneer of a new form of creative problem solving called Equity-Centered Community Design, it is an honour to have Antionette speak and lead a workshop in our community. Additionally, Antionette was recently named one of Graphic Design USA’s 2019 People to Watch.
