After a successful pivot to virtual programming in 2020 in order to meet the challenges of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the 2021 Fellowship was again held digitally, reaching a global audience of more than 2,200 registered students and future leaders in design.
Guided by the design advocacy group’s mission to inform, educate, and influence as many individuals as possible about the value of authentic design, the recorded 20 presentations from the 2021 Fellowship are now available via the Be Original Americas website.
In 2022, with the support of member company Skyline Design, Be Original Americas plans to re-incorporate in-person learning opportunities into the virtual programming as they celebrate 10 years of tireless design education and impact on the built world.
