About to leave Oxford and an amazing experience at the TED Global conference that will take some time to simmer on after a day or two of hibernation. In the meantime, just wanted to spread the word that CUP is looking for designers and visual artists to pair up with advocates for a new round of Making Policy Public. I had a spectacular time working with them and The Street Vendor Project to translate the scary legalese into an accessible guide to street vending that clarifies the most commonly violated rules and then some.
