The Show and Tell Conversation Series

Ann Willoughby : : "The Late, Great Michael Cronan"

“This is Ann…”

On a conference call, Ann Willoughby would politely interject and then go on to make a point. We were tickled, that lovely Mississippi accent certainly wasn’t any one else of us in the group.

The best part of the design community is meeting and working hard with so many talented designers, whether on a project, at a conference, or judging a show.

Ann is a 2014 Centennial Medalist and the co-chair of the AIGA’s Centennial program. She has been a design-life-long friend and advocate of Michael Cronan, one of our Bay Area 2014 Centennial Medalists.

Join in as Ann and friends tell stories about Michael, a life in design, and the studio of the future.
