Nothing is So Beautiful
At an STA event on May 6, Dian Sourelis of Brainforest made a presentation about Creative Pitch and sustainability branding at Brainforest. Creative Pitch—which Dian started—is an initiative that collects all the valuable, but unused stuff designers have stacked up in the office (T-shirts, binders, used illustration board, stock photo books, etc) and distributes it to art instructors in under-served schools in Chicago. Brainforest’s sustainability effort is an approach to operating the business in a way that both cuts waste and adds value to the Brainforest brand.
