Please join us for another edition of our Design Lecture Series with design researcher, organizer and author, Omari Souza.

Omari is an Assistant Professor at the University of North Texas. He co-hosts the podcast, “The Design of Business/The Business of Design,” which delves into the intricate workings of design within complex organizations, influencing decisions, products, and more. He’s the founder and organizer of the "State of Black Design Conference.” It celebrates, promotes, and amplifies the voices and contributions of Black designers, fostering a more equitable and diverse design industry. Omari's book, An Anthology of Blackness: The State of Black Design (MIT Press), will be published in the fall.
