2026 Book Talk: Creative Essentials with Heidi Chisholm and Richard Hart of Public/Official

You’re invited to our community book club, where we're sitting down with designers to chat about Creative Essentials.

Join us on July 14 for our 2026 Book Club: Creative Essentials session with Heidi Chisholm and Richard Hart of Public/Official.

In this virtual conversation, Heidi and Richard will dive into the Creative Essential: Go to the edges. They’ll share stories from their creative practice about exploring unfamiliar territory, seeking inspiration beyond conventional boundaries, and how pushing into new perspectives can spark innovation, insight, and surprising designs.

Heidi Chisholm and Richard Hart are the founders of Public/Official, an interdisciplinary design studio that creates exhibitions, environments, publications, and experiences for businesses, cultural institutions, and more. They believe design should feel joyful, revelatory and sometimes, maybe even profound.

You’ll hear directly from Heidi and Richard, connect with fellow participants in small group discussions, and join a live Q&A. This session is designed for anyone interested in pushing their creativity—whether you’re exploring new ideas, tackling complex challenges, or looking to expand the boundaries of your work.

Be part of this dynamic and insightful session!
