Diversity in Design Collaborative

Another Successful Day of Design! Saturday, we kicked off the second session of our Diversity in Design Collaborative Teen Workshop. These talented young designers, guided by the team from Freeman Company and Campbell's Snacks, delved deeper into the world of Package Design and started the journey of Expo Booth Design. This workshop, the teens moved from ideation to execution and applied their front of pack concepts to create innovative prototypes. Next workshop is time to develop a booth experience to promote their product. We're so impressed by their creativity and dedication!

We’re excited to share an update from the Diversity in Design Collaborative Teen Weekend Workshop, a partnership between Freeman Company Candace Charpentier and Talley (Larkin) Bryant, Campbell's Snacks’ Christopher Loper, Tom Brooke, and mike rice, and hosted by DesignPhiladelphia! In Session 2, the teens turned their snack package design sketches into prototypes and began planning their expo booth designs to showcase their products. Building on the fundamentals of Design Thinking explored in Session 1, this session challenged the teens to bring their ideas to life and think strategically about how to present their work in a real-world setting. It’s inspiring to see their creativity and problem-solving skills in action, and we can’t wait to see how they continue to grow in the final session. Stay tuned for more updates!

This past weekend, we kicked off the Diversity in Design Collaborative Teen Workshop, hosted by Freeman Company, Campbell's Snacks, and DesignPhiladelphia ? This three-part series is aimed at teaching a diverse group of Philly teens all about #designthinking and how it applies to real-world projects like packaging design and expo booth design. In the first session, the teens explored the fundamentals of design and created moodboards for their new snack brand. In the next two sessions, they will create and prototype packaging designs and then design expo booth concepts to show off their brand. It’s exciting to support the next generation of designers and help them discover their potential alongside a group of very talented leaders (Candace Charpentier from Freeman Company | Christopher Loper, Shakirah Stinson, and mike rice from Campbell's Snacks | and Michael Spain, Assoc. AIA, NOMA and LIZA NILES from DesignPhiladelphia). Looking forward to next month’s session! #designedby #diversityindesign #designphiladelphia
