As Design and Package Design judging returns to Las Vegas this year, LIA is pleased to announce the names of the jury president and jury members. As with every year, all the jury members are designers who are highly respected in the industry.  Going back onsite will give the jury members the opportunity to touch and feel physical pieces of work in the room. All work in the final judging will be debated thoroughly before they are deemed worthy of an award.

 

Barbara Levy, President of LIA, commented: “We are pleased to welcome Ashwini Deshpande, Co-Founder/Director of Elephant Design back into our judging room as Jury President.  She was an amazing Jury President last year. We are honored that she has agreed to take up that role again this year. We anticipate very healthy discussions among the jurors under her leadership.”

 

"LIA is always special as it is run by an all women crew. I am very grateful for this opportunity once again. We saw some heart-warming and thoughtful work last year. Now that we are turning the page by resuming physical events, I can’t wait to touch and feel the work, meet other jurors, and discuss nuances of design in the same room. Would love to see some work that is deeply rooted in cultural insights and yet is universally delightful.”
