Design. Build. Transform.

Design. Build. Transform.

Congratulations.  You made it to Friday.  Looking for an inspiring movie to watch this weekend?  

Try "If You Build It", a short film that  “follows designer-activists Emily Pilloton and Matthew Miller to rural Bertie County, the poorest in North Carolina, where they work with local high school students to help transform both their community and their lives. Living on credit and grant money and fighting a change-resistant school board, Pilloton and Miller lead their students through a year-long, full-scale design and build project that does much more than just teach basic construction skills: it shows ten teenagers the power of design-thinking to re-invent not just their town but their own sense of what’s possible” 





Sponsored by Journeyman International and ConsciousBuild in San Luis Obispo, this film was shown at the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival this year.

My hope in sharing this film with you is that you will be re-inspired to share your passion with others who do not recognize design and why it is important to a community.
