WE STARTED AT THE BOTTOM AND NOW WE HERE. We’re super stoked to have had Craighton Berman, Industrial Designer, educator, illustrator, cool dad, and design entrepreneur with us on CONTEXT. We talked about how he created Manual, a housewares brand that designs objects that celebrate slow food. We were also able to discuss his service to the community, home life, professional life, teaching, his work permanently installed at the Art Institute in Chicago, the roller coaster ride that Kickstarter is, the future for him, and NO COMMERCIAL VALUE. The context is rich, so tune in! To checkout Craighton’s work and follow his journey, follow him on Instagram under his handles: @craightonberman, @m_a_n_u_a_l, and @no_commercial_value. Thank you for tuning into CONTEXT, (formerly known as ADS Live prior to Advanced Design’s rebrand), send us a DM or email at hello@advdes.org to provide us with your thoughts and comments on our dialogue with designers!
