Lecture
THE DESIGN ENTREPRENEUR
The New concept from New York



Design Entrepreneurism is the NEXT BIG THING. Designers are used to working for clients, but there is nothing better than when the client is oneself. The computer age has made the design entrepreneur possible; the digital age has made multimedia integration a necessity for a wide range of endeavors. It is logical that graphic and product designers, who are skilled with the tools and masters of the aesthetics are now in the forefront of this growing entrepreneur movement.

Steven Heller and Lita Talarico, co-chairs and co-founders of MFA Designer as Author, a master program of SVA (School of Visual Arts, New York) and co-authors of the book gThe Design Entrepreneurh will lecture in Tokyo about the exciting and encouraging concept and provide know-how for all who aim to be or are already creative professionals, and those in related professions.
