MAKE DESIGN MATTER 

in our version of humanitarianism, the love of design hooks up with desire to make a difference—and packs waterproof mascara for the ride.

“something magical happens when you contribute. it creates purpose, presence and an overwhelming sense of connection and gratification that sticks to your soul. it’s the good gooey stuff—and it’s addictive.”

- PROjECT. founder + visionary, aimee wertepny

aimee’s words are taped, embedded and tattoo-ed onto our consciousness at PROjECT. and the feeling is contagious: our clients and industry partners have supported, donated, volunteered + made some fly posters for the fan club.

mentoring is where it all started for our fearless leader, and everything changed the second she met malik, our ambassador of cool, younger brother + bona fide inspiration. they met in 2005 through tutoring chicago and have been soul siblings ever since.
