H is for Humanitarian

Hippo Roller portable water container design

Emily Pilloton of Project H Design was recently featured in Metropolis Magazine. Select images and video of Project H Design's initiatives are currently on view in the UCM Gallery of Art & Design through November 6th. Pilloton's book "Design Revolution: 100 Products that Empower People" is available at the UCM Bookstore for a short time and quantities are limited.

You can read the Metropolis Magazine article by Karen Steen online here.

In short, Pilloton created Project H Design as a way to do humanitarian projects when she got fed up with the demoralizing realities of her design profession. You can find out more about the initiatives and how to get involved by visiting http://projecthdesign.org/ or by visiting the art gallery now through November 6th.

Yet another great event that will get you out of Warrensburg and into the city! If you know anyone in Interior Design, you could probably make arrangements to ride with them. It sounds like many of them will be going to it.
