Politics, Design, and Diversity

One of my favorite lines from Space Balls the Movie is "Smoke if you got'em". No I'm not advocating nicotine, but I do advocate working with what you've got. For more than 40 years, Mary Scott, the head of the School of Design at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco, has grown as an inspiration and a transformational voice for graphic design while parlaying layers of experience, into a career that has improved the quality of life for countless people who have worked with and for her.

She discusses teaching, the rise of women in the industry, and how the power of good design helped lead our first African American to the White House. Mary Scott brings a candid honesty to all topics of conversation. She is interested in interesting people, and you will be very interested in her too.
