I’m thrilled that ‘Bicycling Counts’ will run during Bike Walk week: June 2-11. Bicycling Counts is an interactive, animated, mobile public art project created to celebrate and prove the collective impact of cycling.
Slides from my IXDA workshop on Communicating Sustainability are available on Slideshare. (There are 3 parts.) Enjoy!

The fence is up at the American Swedish Institute! I designed a back-story, repeating banner for the construction fence to show what the upcoming addition’s ‘LEED’ certification means and to acquaint passer-bys with happenings at the museum and in Swedish culture. Although the museum is closed during the construction, the fence is there for you to visit. See it in the Phillips neighborhood.
Also, the ‘T-Shirt-that Tells it’s Own Story’ and some shawls I developed together with master craftsmen in rural India are on exhibit at ‘Material Matters’ now at MCAD.
Arlene will present at GreenID, an exchange forum on sustainable information design in Vienna, Austria in June. The forum is organized by the International Institute for Information Design.
This presentation will showcase a visual narrative approach to information design for the communication of sustainability. I will present examples from a variety of resources, including: how I use visual storytelling techniques with clients, students at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design sustainability program and in creative practice.
