I’ve been working closely with the HOW Design Live team, both as the program director for The Dieline Conference and leading the design group for this year’s identity. I can’t wait to walk into the Hynes Convention Center in Boston May 12 – 16 and see all of our hard work pay off in the form of a life- and career-changing event for creatives.

Since HOW Design Live has opened up the event to let attendees mix and match from across the entire program, I’ve put together my own personal must-attend list of the sessions and networking events I’m keen on, plus some of my favorite Boston locations.

Read on for my HOW Design Live, and then let us know how you’re customizing your HOW Design Live on Facebook and Twitter. #HOWLive

11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
A CUP OF JOE:
Pavement Coffeehouse
1096 Boylston St.
As an avid coffee connoisseur, I can’t function without a good cup of coffee. I will be stopping by Pavement Coffeehouse to enjoy a light snack before heading to the conference. The best thing is that it’s walkable from HOW Design Live.
