Design Revolution Roadshow

I had the chance to visit with Emily Pilloton today. Her Design Revolution Roadshow Airstream trailer was parked outside of CCA, offering students and any other passers by a glimpse into the world of industrial design for the greater good. Emily’s passion and conviction are enviable — rivaled only by her deftly eloquent advocacy (for proof see her easily handle Stephen Colbert’s Q&A on last week’s Colbert Report).

Without question, Emily is her generation’s ambassador for good design, hands-on problem solving, and just plain giving a damn. I think she came along just in time, too.

We’re doing a little Q&A with Emily for the book, and I snapped her portrait while I was at it. The one above is an outtake, but she looked good in all of them. If you’re in the Bay Area and want to see the exhibit and meet Emily in person, head out to the roadshow kickoff Thursday night.

I’ll see you there.
