Made in the Middle
2018 Creative Conference
It has been a dream come true to be a part of the team behind Made in the Middle—a design and creative conference celebrating creatives from the Midwest. We recently wrapped up our 2018 conference in Kansas City, Missouri which included amazing parties, a full day of 10+ workshops followed by a full day of inspiring lectures from 7 creative leaders from around the country.
Made in the Middle which started as a passion project at our studio has grown into so much more. Our recent 2018 conference is a great example of this. We now have an amazing board of volunteers all sacrificing their time and efforts to make it happen (we love you Lindsay, Spencer, Eric, Mckenzie, Emily, Alex, Larry, Abby and Eddie). We have amazing business partners from all over the country who support and value the arts and the difference it can make (we love you Hallmark Cards, Adobe, NextPage, French Paper, The Kansas City Art Institute, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and so many more). We are beyond proud of our Kansas City design community that just flat out, shows up. Made in the Middle reinforced that Kansas City is an elite creative city. We are so proud to partner with AIGAKC on this dream of ours and hope it’s success can further support their creative initiatives. Our 2018 conference also showed us that the event reaches far beyond just the Midwest, as we had attendees from 24 different states in 2018.

“I had so much fun at the Made in the Middle conference today. It was the first conference I've been to that's hosted inside of a world-class art museum. So much awesome wisdom and sweet swag. Thanks to all the speakers who came out to celebrate midwest design!”
