This past week marked the 21st annual HOW Design Conference held in Chicago from June 22-27, which entailed a 6-day intensive conference of graphic design professionals looking to learn from industry and creative masterminds and advance their careers. Zazzle seller Vonster, who also runs a multi-disciplinary creative group, was one of the speakers at the conference and all of the attendees at his session walked away with a sweet Zazzle t-shirt designed by him!
