John Bielenberg specializes in helping organizations find the courage and the sense of humor to consider whole new "wrong" ways of bringing their stories, ideas, and innovations out into the world.
His investment in the "value of thinking wrong" led him to create a program called Project M, designed to inspire and educate young designers, writers, photographers, and filmmakers by proving that their work—especially their wrongest thinking—can have a positive and significant impact on the world. Project M has developed projects related to a conservation area in Costa Rica, microfinancing in Ghana, New Orleans after Katrina, the community of East Baltimore, and connecting households to fresh water in Hale County, Alabama.
Bielenberg has won more than 250 design awards. He has been nominated for two Cooper-Hewitt National Design Awards, he served on the AIGA national board of directors, and he teaches at CCA. SFMOMA has acquired six of his projects, and he staged a solo exhibition there in 2000. He is a founding partner of C2, MavLab, and Nada Bike Collective, a member of AGI (Alliance Graphique International), and on the boards of Waterfall Arts and Unity College. Recently he received the Skandalaris Award for Entrepreneurship in Design from Washington University in St. Louis.

The Reverend Shane McCraig has toured the world unlocking the mysteries of design, reframing what it means to "be a designer" and saving young designers from essential business practices that can strip great design of its soul.
Through invigorating and inspired storytelling, McCraig (real name Joel Kashuba) reveals the emotive power of playfulness in the design process and uncovers how this process makes the connection between seemingly illogical product inspiration and the success of everything from pet rocks to hula hoops, cola bottles, and vacuum cleaners.
In this sermon, the Reverend will take his audience on a journey of insight and discovery about who we are as designers and what role we will play in the future of business. The good Brother will peel back the layers of a designer's existence to reveal a purpose that is alive and well in the hearts and minds of those who truly seek to change the world through the power of design.
