another quarter has commenced at SCAD. group projects emerge, and design thinking takes center stage. this winter, a group of fellow design management grad students and I, have developed a concept we believe has a lot of potential. playUP savannah is the result of creative brainstorming with endless opportunities for success within the savannah community.
our mission statement: to foster community interaction and raise awareness for a local issue through a site-specific installation and promotional campaign. our project aims to facilitate creativity amongst the savannah community. we will be designing an “installation” to communicate a social (welfare) message, urging for a better, quality driven community/society.
we are currently working to identify the issues/topics that are close to the hearts of native savannahians. we hope the playUP philosophy will resonate in cities around the country. local becomes global, think: playUP austin, or playUP cincinnati. making a difference, one city at a time…

Trustees Theater, Tuesday, December 1st @ 3:30pm
Come hear Roger Martin speak about design thinking. Martin’s recent book “The Design of Business” explores why design thinking is the next competitive advantage for organizations. Daniel Pink noted that Martin “helps you enlist the power of design thinking to transform your organization and yourself.”
In addition to publishing several books, Martin is dean of the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto and an adviser on strategy to CEOs of several major global corporations. He writes extensively on design and is a regular columnist for BusinessWeek.com’s Innovation and Design channel. He also is a regular contributor to the Washington Post and the Financial Times.
We’re incredibly lucky to have such frequent access to world-class thought leaders, and this presentation will be especially great, so please make every effort to attend!
“Geekend is the annual gathering of the geek tribe in Savannah, Georgia. Geekend is what you might call an interactive conference with some truly awesome parties. It’s the kind of event that you’ll be texting, tweeting and Facebooking from and all your friends back home will be super jealous.
Join us this November as the brightest geeks, designers, developers, techies and social media mavericks descend upon Savannah for a weekend filled with cutting edge speakers and panels, afterparties and networking.”
Check out my other design blog where my friend, Brandy, and I post things we are working on and things we like.
