GFDA - Good F*cking Design Advice Lecture
Thursday, November 3, 2016 · 7 - 8:30 PM
Win or Learn—the Risky Business of GFDA
Lecture Synopsis //
In September of 2010 GFDA was launched as a joke on a whim. Before they knew it, Co-founders Brian Buirge and Jason Bacher were plunged headfirst into business selling shirts and prints from the basement of their rental property in Northeast Ohio. Over the last six years they have established themselves as a powerhouse in the international design and creative community. Their story is overflowing with embarrassing failures and stupid mistakes which they view not as road blocks, but sign posts on their way toward inevitable success. Holding to the perspective that they either win or learn, they believe wholeheartedly that experience only comes the moment after you need it. Brian and Jason look to really address the hurdles and blocks that get in the way of people starting and continuing their own creative projects, taking great pride in championing courage, risk-taking, and failure through their personal examples.
Lecture Time //
- 60-75 minute presentation
- 30 minutes of Q&A or Panel Discussion afterwards
