A year ago, I stepped into the @aigalosangeles community as President Elect with a lot of ideas and even more to prove. Today, I’m officially stepping into the role of President of AIGA Los Angeles, and I want to take a moment before we look ahead to look back at what this board accomplished together.

We produced events that actually mattered. Emergence, our creative mixer in partnership with @adobe showcasing LA’s rising designers, sold out at 175 guests with zero paid advertising and generated over 33,500 organic views from a single post. The State of AI in Design with @imagineartofficial brought our community together for one of the most relevant conversations happening in our industry right now, and gave our Adobe Apprentice Rhea Rendon (@romi.catalog) a real stage to show what she’s capable of as a designer. We toured the Pictograms exhibition at @japanhousela. We sat fireside with the founders of @hybriddesignsf. We showed up at the Los Angeles Design Festival @ladfest). We grew our Instagram following and engagement by nearly 20%. And we did almost all of it free to our community, because that’s what this chapter was about.

None of this happens without the people who showed up every single week to make it real. To our outgoing board members, Alexis Caban (@alexiselisa), Michelle Leclerc (@leclerc_design), and former President Paul Woods (@paulthedesigner), thank you. The work you put in built the foundation we’re standing on. You will always be part of this family.

To our partners, @adobe, @imagineartofficial, @hybriddesignsf, @japanhousela, @typecraft, @typethursdayla, @ladfest, and so many more, thank you for believing in what AIGA LA is building. We don’t take that lightly, and we’re just getting started.

Honestly? This past year was us warming up.

I am so excited for what comes next. We have a lot in store for this community, and I can’t wait to share it with you. Stay close.

It’s not your daughter, but she deserves the same respect, the same safety, and the same humanity.

Don’t stop talking about Palestine😭💔

Where is the world? Where are you? Have you forgotten Palestine and Gaza? Have you forgotten the blood of men, women, children, and the elderly? The decision to execute them has been made. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs. Please stand with us.
