Balancing the Rails

Ron Miriello speaking about design and creativity at the Mingei Museum for the OneClub San Diego and AIGA San Diego.

 

The Two Rails of a Career

The San Diego OneClub invited me to talk at the new Mingei Museum to launch their speaker series on design. “Anything you want to talk about”, said director David Traina. In a sobering pandemic and knowing none are longing to see another design portfolio, we spent the evening talking of what it takes to maintain motivation and inspiration throughout a life. The “Riding the Rails of a Design Career” premise led to a rich conversation and a few examples of the importance of play and of creating for yourself. A reunion for many, surrounded by colleagues and sharing rather than impressing. Here’s a dry re-creation video of the lecture structure and a below are a few captures from the night at the spectacular Mingei Museum designed by architect Jennifer Luce.
