Designspeaks presents an evening with Steve Sandstrom, Creative Director and founder of Sandstrom Partners, at the Cleaners. He promises to share "some things I've learned from people much smarter with a few other thoughts and a personal rant thrown in because the truth is I haven't really retained much of what it is I've learned from those smarter people."

Sandstrom Partners is the Portland-based strategic brand design firm behind the creation, re-imaging and revitalization of some of the most recognizable brands -- like Levi's, St-Germain, Tazo teas, Session lagers, Massif, Converse and Bulleit.

Admission is $28.50, $15 for students. Pre-sale tickets for this event are now sold out. 

Admission includes complimentary small-batch wine and beer from the Pacific Northwest, hors d'oevres, and treats from Alma Chocolate. Presented by Designspeaks, 52 Limited and Ace Hotel. 

Designspeaks exists to encourage people to talk about design -- and to explore multidisciplinary facets of design: architecture, brand, communications, experience, film, fashion, graphic, and industrial. To establish an interface within the context of real life and support the most compelling regional voices in design.
