IDSA-SF and AIGA presents: Sex & Drugs Designing in a Taboo Industry

Join us for a stimulating conversation with the creatives designing provocative products that are transforming how we have sex, consume cannabis, and breast feed. We’ve invited three pioneering designers to share their journey reshaping the social stigmas built around their industry. Learn how quiet, elegant sex toys dismiss shame and judgement from sex, how form factor and premium materials can dispel the misfit connotation of cannabis use, and how to take the hassle and apology out of pumping, while keeping moms in the workforce.
