What does it mean to dedicate a design studio to the immediate questions outside the studio walls? To commit to a way of working that requires years of social observation, collaborative initiatives and immediate partnerships? blink!LAB was launched in 2015 with a mandate to weave community projects and private clients as a viable business model. June A. Grant, Design Principal, will discuss projects that shed light on how a small design studio embraces and implements big ideas.
