I began working with Andrew Dahlgren and Alexandra Schmidt Ulrich in 2009 to forward conversations around design and manufacturing in Philadelphia. Initial work was done in conjunction with Design Philadelphia​ and involved the production of yearly exhibits. Later we began to work with the community of designers and makers to create opportunity for new collaborations and work- including panel discussions, public installations, a web-based database, and other work and projects. The experience began to run year round, and involved a large dedicated group of volunteers and participants. It was an incredible run- from 2009 to 2013.
