Using
intelligent design strategy and inspiring design solutions, Linda Secondari (host)
believes we can improve the world through better communication.
She’s been fortunate to do that for independent authors, major
publishers like Oxford University Press, NGOs, educational
institutions, nonprofits and think tanks. Now, as the founder and
Creative Director of Studiolo Secondari, she helps organizations
reach their audience and get their big ideas noticed through
compelling print, web, and digital communications. @studiololinda

Marssaié is a Design Lecturer
at London Metropolitan University & Shillington
Education. She has 10 years industry experience working with
purposeful and impactful brands, dedicated to telling compelling
stories that resonate with contemporary audiences. Throughout her
career she has elevated design thinking – leading teams in design
that challenges the status-quo, as well as identifying emerging
creatives and creating space and opportunities for them. @marssaie

Geronna Lewis-Lyte has
always immersed herself in the varying cultures of the two cities
she calls home: Brooklyn, NY and Oakland, Ca. It’s these life
experiences between two cities coupled with her studies as a
painter that her approach to design over the past 17 years has
always been informed. Geronna’s career has touched various
industries, where nearly 1/3 of that time has been spent as a Book
cover designer. She currently works as a senior designer for the
marketing agency Known, but you will still find her working on a
cover or three through Paper Plus Rocket, a design firm she co-owns
with her partner.
