My dear friend and mentor Jan Lorenc, founder and principal a Lorenc + Yoo Design, an Altlanta-based experiential design firm is giving a talk online for the Toronto chapter of SEGD on May 28th and I will have the pleasure (and immense pressure) to introduce him to Toronto’s audience.
Jan is also a past podcast guest. Check out his interview “I could have been throwing rocks at goats” to learn more about him.
I met Jan through his son, Richard, a number of years ago and it’s our common educational background (we both studied at IIT, Jan at the Institute of Design and myself at the College of Architecture) which influenced us both deeply, that triggered an instant friendship. But it’s our love for good design and its transformative power, as well as a distaste for bullshit, that maintained our friendship throughout the years.
