If Day 1 of HOW Design Live was amazing, Day 2 was more than amazing. Okay, so maybe it didn’t quite top Day 1, but it was decidedly on equal footing. Check out some of the magic we experienced:
We saw the official 25th Anniversary poster for HOW Design Live by Delicious Design League.

First, Tina Roth Eisenberg blew our minds and made us all want to be her when we grow up.

Mid-morning, an eerily beautiful fog descended upon the Windy City:
Day 02: Seems like @karlthefog has followed us here in Chi-town. I’m so unprepared for this weather, but brought my own pen to take notes so at least I got that right! #HOWLive #vscocam #design #architecture #vanishingpoint #chicago A photo posted by Paul Capili (@pcap_) on

HOWie had some fun in the exhibit hall.
We spent some quality time with the official #HOWlive mascot #HOWie. We gave him a little edgy earring to remember us by. What a looker! #MOOatHOW

Those of us who didn’t want to become Tina Roth Eisenberg already then learned that they wanted to be Dr. Brene Brown (okay, so there was a lot of overlap).
