SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Janet Kahng and Peggy Luk
DESCRIPTION:SuperBloom Initiative: Creative Conservation \nA talk about meeting people where they are at and how creativity plays a role in conservation.  \nJanet is a Senior Designer at the Walt Disney Company\, focused on storytelling and branded spatial experiences. Nevertheless\, her passion for science communication motivates her to pursue initiatives that revolve around environmental and scientific advocacy through design intervention. Having been a lifelong SoCal resident\, learning about native ecology and early interactions with native plants and bees have given her a sense of place and purpose\, which is feeling she wants to share with others through formative environmental storytelling. \nPeggy is a brand designer for the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games\, where she focused on creating work that reflects and is shaped by the community. Her path has been sparked by a desire to make design that is both visually compelling and meaningful. That same mindset led her to an interest in bees and ecology\, recognizing their essential role in sustaining the communities she cares about. \nTogether\, Janet and Peggy founded the SuperBloom Initiative\, where they focus on creative-led solutions to help reach wider audiences and highlight the important relationships between native plants\, pollinators\, and people. \nRegister for the Zoom meeting here. \nThis meeting will not be recorded\, catch Janet and Peggy live!
