We are so thrilled to be the newest and 75th chapter of the AIGA, that we couldn't think of any better way to kick off than with the one and only Ashleigh Axios. If you don't know the powerhouse that she is, read on…

Ashleigh is an AIGA national board member, the co-creator of DotGovDesign—an initiative connecting and empowering government designers, and an advocate for design’s ability to break barriers and create positive social change. Axios led Automattic’s in-house creative agency for marketing, communications, and brand identity solutions. Prior to her role at Automattic, Axios served as the creative director and a digital strategist at the Obama White House.

Here's some info about Ashleigh's talk:

"Still Hopey, Changey"

A behind-the-scenes look at a presidency full of complete sentences, responsible tweets, and — you know, values. Ashleigh will bring back all of the feels as she shares how 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue led by design during the Obama administration and, as Design Exponent at Automattic, her insights on ethics in technology, the shifting roles of designers and their impact on business organizations, and design strategies for dealing with ambiguity.
