I am interested in hearing everyones thoughts on a Project H Design chapter in West Michigan. If you are not familiar with Project H, I have included a couple of paragraphs from their website (www.projecthdesign.com) which briefly explain their mission.
"Project H Design is a charitable organization that supports, inspires, and delivers life-improving humanitarian product design solutions. We champion industrial design as a tool to address social issues, a vehicle for global life improvement, and a catalyst for individual and community empowerment.
Project H Design encourages the reorientation of the design industry towards a more socially-impactful and humanitarian entity through a variety of Initiatives that include design thinking, production and distribution, funding, design academics, and local chapter projects."
Project H has local chapters in San Fransisco, LA, New York, Chicago, London and others. It would be great if west Michigan had a chapter too. So my question is...what do you think? Is anyone interested? Is there already a similar group around? Can we organize ourselves as designers and give back to our communities? I look forward to hearing many comments, opinions and ideas.
