Over the weekend, ID professor Hector Silva livestreamed a Zoom meeting with black industrial designers to discuss design and race. On the call was Kevin Bethune, Founder and CCO of think tank dreams • design + life; Jasmine Kent, Run Apparel Designer for Under Armour; and Spencer Nugent, Founder of Sketch a Day.
