JULY 2010: Pixan, an organic farm-centric project in Noh-Bec, Quintana Roo. Last year Laila Simonovsky designed Pixan’s identity mark in collaboration with organic farmer/d4d partner Gualberto Cazanova with the support of the University of Florida University Scholars grant.
In 2010 Narayan Ghiotti received a University Scholars grant to continue working on this project. He’s working on design strategy and we’ll see what intangibles and tangibles emerge. Today we met with Gualberto to talk about the next phase of the “pixan” project. Narayan will be working with Gualberto in the field (literally) and it will be an opportunity for learning and exchange. I’m very pleased with this connection and happy to see this greeted with so much enthusiasm by everyone.
