CO-Sponsored by afterthought 

About The Workshop:

Trusting your gut is a crucial part of decision-making, but what are the guiding principles that define your judgment? Exactly what qualities and aspects of a project are most important to you? In this interactive workshop, George Aye, co-founder of Greater Good Studio, will walk you through a process for defining your own rubric to evaluate clients. Greater Good Studio has found this approach to be transformative to their business, and it has become an indelible part of the studio’s brand and culture.

Audiences Will Leave With:

• A clear set of insights about your current portfolio of work as a method for picking new clients and projects
• A set of personal questions that you can use on those initial calls to get to the key information you need.

• A sense of community and belonging with design practitioners who may have similar questions swimming in their brains
• Insights and learnings from off-record conversations
• Bellies full of pizza!
