WHAT IT IS

Design. Measure. Learn. Feedback Loop. Deviating slightly from Eric Ries’ Continuous Innovation. We have developed a summer Creative Boot Camp for our artists, brand strategists, designers, developers, and marketers — a group of youthful, talented, passionate learners and educators who believe in our capacity to advance and change the world. Part of our promise to each other is to continue developing opportunities for us to learn together.

This year’s summer Creative Boot Camp revolves around “Changemakers,” so we have invited a number of influential people from all over the world who are changing the world  to provide our students with unique learning opportunities that address “Creative Strategy: Business of Design,” influenced by Activist, Educator, Designer, Strategist, Professor Douglas Davis, who will anchor our week-long of celebration of activities and workshops for our students. The Boot Camp will be kicked off by CSUN alum Aaron Atchison, founder and creative director of Farm Design in Pasadena, California. See information below about this year’s sessions, activities, and presenters.
