Our Day Begins

Over 30 students and professionals are gathered at GWU's Mount Vernon campus to participate in today's design charrette. Everyone is eager to tackle Healthy Corner's product and interior design challenge. Huan Song, Janell Walker and Chelse Wayne from DC Central Kitchen briefed our designers on Healthy Corner's design needs, including creating an interactive, welcoming display for use in their partner corner stores across DC. Want to learn more about DC's "grocery gap" issue? Watch these videos from DC Central Kitchen to see for yourself what the impact of easy access to fresh fruits and veggies can have on the community:

Participants have been assigned into four teams based on their skill strengths, and now everyone is ready to break out the trace paper and start designing! Keep track of our designers' progress throughout the day by following #gwiadcharrette or @gwuiad on twitter and instagram, plus new blog posts will be coming after each design session.
