What motivated you to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?

A belief that a healthy, happy and peaceful world for all its people is possible - and a desire to help people inspire others to work toward that ultimate goal. Without peace and conflict resolution at our core, activists can't really move forward or be effective. So, I felt it was time to focus more on that than just the issues and problems.

Please feel free to provide a short bio about yourself (no more than 3 paragraphs)

For the past 20 years, I've been combining artistry & activism to call attention to important social issues. I founded Design for Social Impact in 1996 to help tell the story of the public interest movement - in all its forms - by helping groups get their word out in the best way possible. I believe that stories and symbols are the most effective way to help people understand issues and move them to positive action. So, we help promote a healthy, happy and peaceful world through communication: striking visuals, strong messages and organizing to get the word out.
