Common Hoops...bringing young people together to design and construct basketball backboards from salvaged materials. The creative expression empowers kids, the construction creates jobs, and the installation creates pride in the community.
Got Hoops & Ideas?!
The Interview
I think this interview, with Nate Voss & Donovan Beery via the ReflexBlue Show, at the 2010 HOW Design Conference in Denver captures how much LUV & respect I have for the graphic design community - a special shoutout to Willoughby Design + djNOAH! Note: The 2002 HOW Design Conference in Orlando was my first “paid” speaking event - BIG gratitude & respect to Bryn Mooth and the F&W Publishing team for trusting me to share a message that would inspire, motivate & enlighten their very important creative audience.Since our first encounter in 2002 there have been many more “encore” performances at various graphic design gatherings! Also, at that same Orlando venue, I met Ann Willoughby backstage - three books, a unique brand identity, multiple design awards & a dear friend have been the result of that “chance” meeting!

2010 IIDA Pioneers in Design Award from Architecture for Humanity on Vimeo.
Architecture for Humanity/AFH is a nonprofit design services firm founded in 1999. We are building a more sustainable future through the power of professional design.
By tapping a network of more than 40,000 professionals willing to lend time and expertise to help those who would not otherwise be able to afford their services, we bring design, construction and development services where they are most critically needed.
Each year 10,000 people directly benefit from structures designed by Architecture for Humanity. Our advocacy, training and outreach programs impact an additional 50,000 people annually. We channel the resources of the global funding community to meaningful projects that make a difference locally. From conception to completion, we manage all aspects of the design and construction process. Our clients include community groups, aid organizations, housing developers, government agencies, corporate divisions, and foundations.
I’ve had the privilege of partnering twice with AFH: in 2004, donating a whole lotta soccer balls to their global Got Balls?! effort & in 2007, collaborating on the Siyathemba Project - Siyathemba offers a unique opportunity to bring together the positive aspects of sports with an innovative health outreach program in a setting designed with and for the youth of Somkhele, South Africa.
Congratulations to Cameron & his team at Architecture for Humanity!

Stefan is inspiring friends and acquaintances left and right. Here is an homage of sorts, a re-interpretation, ‘channeled Stefan,’ from Marguerita at ‘The Poignant Frog’ blog:
