Phoenix Design Week, a tribute to fine design in a valley mostly known for sun, Charles Barkley’s indiscernible rants, and the occasionally awesome Cardinals, jumped off during the week of October 21–25.  Blind Society’s very own Darren Wilson—Partner and Brand Visionary—was asked to speak during Saturday’s sessions.

His presentation was colorful and animated, as were his slides.  We wanted to bring the slides to you, the Digital Elsewhere (or those who want to relive his speech over and again).

The presentation starts with the generally held opinions about creatives and industry professionals in Phoenix, then moves on to how we can change the course of Phoenix’s future.

Coming away from PHXDW09, it is clear that we, as a Valley, are on the brink of making something great happen.

Check out the slides and leave some thoughts below.
