SUMMARY:Creative Happy Hour: Cheers to SF Design Week at CCA’s New Campus
DESCRIPTION:Join CreativeMornings San Francisco and the Design Division at California College of the Arts (CCA) for an inspiring early evening of connection\, conversation\, and creativity.\n\nThis social happy hour brings together designers\, architects\, artists\, and makers from across disciplines to spark ideas\, meet new collaborators\, and celebrate the end of SF Design Week in style. Alongside the presentations\, there will be a DJ\, light bites\, and a bar serving wine\, beer\, and non-alcoholic beverages. \nWe’ll kick things off with three provocative lightning talks on re-forming design practice from: \n\nGRL GRP – a feminist-inspired design collective\nAmy Karle – bio-artist and futurist exploring the intersections of technology and humanity\nJo Marini – (big) systems thinker + doer specializing in systemic transformation of legacy industries.\n\nCome for the inspiration\, stay for the people. Drinks\, good vibes\, and fresh ideas await. \nHosted by California College of the Art’s Design Division.  \nCalifornia College of the Arts cultivates ideas\, industry\, and impact in the progressive San Francisco Bay Area\, educating our students as global changemakers through purposeful practice and critical discourse. The Design Division at CCA advances contemporary practice by positioning the designer as a dynamic agent of cultural\, social\, and ecological change.  \nCreative Mornings is the world’s largest creative community; hosting local chapter events in cities around the world every Friday\, Virtual FieldTrips every week\, and job postings and company profiles via the CreativeGuild. \nGRL GRP is the feminist-inspired\, collective design practice of Sarah Chieko-Bonnickson\, Abigayle Cosinuke\, Ashlyn Jackson\, Chloe Looker\, and Meg Quarton aimed at making space for women to lead\, not just produce in the field of design. GRP GRP thinks about reform through a multifaceted lens\, including materials\, process\, and attitude. Operating in a non-hierarchical structure rooted in empathy\, they blend craft-based techniques with digital tools\, using a highly collaborative and iterative process in which there is no single author. \nAmy Karle is an internationally award-winning artist and futurist working at the intersection of digital\, physical\, and biological systems. She has exhibited in 54 international shows\, including at the Centre Pompidou\, Mori Art Museum\, the Smithsonian\, and Ars Electronica and was named one of the BBC’s 100 most inspiring women and “Most Influential Women in 3D Printing\,” Her work invites reflection on what it means to be human in a tech-driven future\, aiming to inspire\, provoke\, and pioneer in the fields of bioart\, contemporary art\, and healthcare innovation.  \nJo Marini is a 4x founder\, MBA professor\, United States Air Force Academy graduate\, and IndieBio NY alum who specializes in systemic transformation within legacy industries. She is also a NYC EDC/NewLab Founder Fellow and co-founder of Mothership Materials\, a biomanufacturing startup using Targeted Molecular Recovery to sort ag & food wastes into feedstocks that power the foods\, fuels\, and fabrics of our future. Alongside her entrepreneurial ventures\, Jo teaches Venture Studio in the MBA in Design Strategy program at California College of the Arts\, guiding students through the capstone course focused on turning ideas into viable companies. \n  \n\n
