Google Design is sponsoring HYPERLINKED, a new AIGA/NY series that explores the unique ways in which practitioners in New York and San Francisco are shaping design and technology. We recently kicked off #hyperlinkedsfny with two events in New York: The Business of Design: The good, the bad, and the bottom-line and In The House with Tumblr & Pinterest.
On the Google Design speaking circuit: Jonathan Lee will be participating in the Van Alen Institute’s spring series, The Rupture (6/16); Rob Giampietro is slated to speak at Typographics (6/17); Amber Bravo and Rob will discuss content strategy at Pixel Talks (7/14); Matias Duarte will be presenting at Brand New (9/15).
