People (your potential clients) like learning about the stories behind the work, about your thought process, and about you. This human connection can add increased value to your work. During our session, we'll talk about the elements of a great profile, take a look at some samples, and get started writing yours. Students, freelancers, and established designers welcome!

Paper Craft Art, or Quilling as it is officially known as, is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are carefully rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs - from animals and flowers to letterforms. During the Renaissance, French and Italian nuns and monks used quilling to decorate book covers and religious items. It's been around that long! Quilling basic techniques are relatively easy to learn for everyone. It's the works of art that require time, patience, detailing, and some planning ahead.
Pam grew up in a creative and crafty household with her mom's multi talents of sewing, baking, painting, and crafting. During her high school years, she was introduced to quilling by way of her mom's friend. Pam was re-introduced to quilling at the AIGA San Diego Y20 Design Conference workshop. But this time there was a new twist to the craft, and that was beautiful typography with accents of flourishes. Pam was hooked, and in the past year has created five paper craft typography works of art. People love her work and she wants to share the craft with others. When not crafting, you can find Pam at her studio working on branding design projects for lifestyle business, serving as vice president for the San Diego AIGA chapter, attending design conferences, hiking with her designer buddies, dining out at new restaurants, shopping for beautiful things, and being involved with her church community.

Victoria Kibildis saw her first calligraphy exhibition 1995 at an international lettering conference. Seeing letters used as a mean of expression and able to illicit an emotional reaction made a big impression on her, which led her to a course of study to learn more about calligraphy. Workshops included instruction in historical and contemporary lettering, gilding & illumination on calfskin vellum, drawn letters in ink and graphite, brush lettering and more. Howard T. Glasser. renowned NY Calligrapher and Graphic Artist was correct when he said: "There's more to it than wiggling your fingers and out come the letters."
Seeing an increased interest from the public for calligraphy classes, Victoria began teaching in 2007. Her popular classes are held at UCSD Extension in La Jolla, CA, at the Norman P. Murray Center in Mission Viejo, CA. and at Paper Source in Encinitas, CA. Her happy students range in ages from 10 and older.
She has been published in Bound & Lettered and Calligraphy for Greeting Cards & Scrapbooking by Peter E.

As a UX Designer - one of the most challenging tasks I face is creating design tools which are accessible for those with disabilities. In this process, I have quickly realized that designing for those with disabilities goes far beyond following a checklist of government requirements - often, it simply requires some common sense. In many cases, thinking about designing for those with disabilities has improved my designs for a much larger (general) audience. During this ThinkShop, I will share some of my insights, lessons learned and experiences with user testing voters both with and without disabilities. My goal is to provide those in attendance some inspiration to consider how discovering design solutions for those for disabilities can also improve user experiences for a much larger audience.

User interface and experience design has been a narrative in design rhetoric for some time now. At the root of this conversation is a basic question about where to begin if you have already built a career by specializing in print or web. This workshop will help designers connect things that are changing in their industry, while feeling like they don’t have to start from scratch.
