Ceurv Design Blog

I’ve decided to make my “BGI Guide Blog” posts around a couple of intersecting subjects.  After TA-ing Creativity and Right Livelihood this Summer, I’ve decided to continue pursuing this topic.  My favorite course at BGI thus far was Harnessing Business and Markets to Address Global Poverty.  My interests around poverty alleviation and international economic development are still strong, and I look forward to weaving this into the blog as well.

I plan to use this blog as an extension of my personal brand, which at this time has advanced as far as the three words at the top of this blog and a sentence that puts them in context and aligns with my true purpose:

Design solutions that empower people to radiate joy.

while I’m still in the process of extending this statement to a richer brand and profile, for now I believe it encapsulates my passions and what I’d like to be doing in the future.  Posts will revolve around the intersection of design/creativity/innovation, empowerment of individuals and communities through economic development and of course radiating joy and happiness.

A number of my previous posts already address these issues, including:

• Dieter Rams and 10 Principles of Good Design in the deign realm
• African Entrepreneurs Embrace the Mobile Web focused on empowerment and economic development
• The Great Prosperity vs. The Great Regression related to happiness
