SQ1CON 2018

Cat sketched non-stop alongside experts in the field, who shared new approaches to using sketching as a tool for communication and innovation. Design Central sponsored designer Caterina Rizzoni’s trip to Advanced Design Sketching’s second annual Square One conference, SQ1CON 2018, held at Illinois Institute of Technology in the Institute of Design in Chicago. The conference gave design students and professionals the chance to network as they polished their craft. Each workshop host took their own approach to the medium, ranging from traditional marker renderings to cutting-edge VR sketching techniques. Echoing the camaraderie of design school, this two-day event stayed true to the original mission of Advanced Design Sketching, which was founded by design educator Hector Silva as an extracurricular supplement to students who were passionate about improving their sketching skills. Cat told us spending the weekend surrounded by so much talent was a great reminder that there’s always room to grow because she’s always striving to learn and better herself as a designer and sketching is no exception.
