AIGA Indy is thrilled about [INHOUSE] – a new initiative to provide support, resources, and inspiration for the many in-house designers working here in Indy and the surrounding areas. This quarterly event will share insight into the inner workings of in-house design studios – shedding light on the current struggles and successes faced in an in-house design environment. From speaker presentations to panel discussions, the [INHOUSE] initiative is a time to share, encourage, and inspire designers in all aspects of the design industry.

Join us on Wednesday, February 15 for a unique opportunity to learn about the inner-workings of the design team at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA). David Russick and Matt Taylor will discuss how the IMA Design Studio works to create and maintain all design aspects of the museum’s diverse needs.
