We are thrilled to announce that we’ve been nominated by the Cooper Hewitt National Design Awards for excellence in communications design for 2011.

First launched in 2000 as an official project of the White House Millennium Council, the annual National Design Awards program celebrates design in various disciplines as a vital humanistic tool in shaping the world, and seeks to increase national awareness of the impact of design through education initiatives. The Awards are bestowed in recognition of excellence, innovation, and enhancement of the quality of life. First Ladies Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, and Hillary Clinton have all served as Honorary Patron of the Awards, celebrating the program with a luncheon ceremony at the White House.
