Creativity

Design itself IS a process of constant education — for the people we work with and for, and for ourselves as creative professionals.
Emily Pilloton fervently believes that design solutions can empower people, community, and economies, and she has set out to prove her point. Eloquent and passionate about her mission, she lectures on the importance of social action and building, the design revolution, design for empowerment, and design activism for the sake of humanity. Emily is the founder and director of Project H Design, connecting the power of design to the people who need it the most. She is currently heading Studio H, a public high school "design/build" curriculum that sparks rural community development through real-world, creative projects in a rural North Carolina high school in Bertie County.
