Speaking
I participate in dialogues about community and design.
Friends in tech say...
Mike Joosse,In every instance, they provided thoughtful, specific feedback and truly cared about making it a growth experience for the students they worked with... Their dedication to helping the design community grow and flourish in Chicago is a prime example for our students, our other mentors and critics, and designers across the city.
