This , we will be honoring the legacy of Black Designers and showcasing their immeasurable contributions to the design industry, in a series we call . Even though it might not always seem like it, Black designers have always been here and our impact on design as a whole is significant. Join us as we highlight the work of the Black designers who’ve paved a way for Inneract Project to exist. Today, we begin with Thomas Miller.

If you’re familiar with Motorola’s logo, then you are familiar with the work of Thomas Miller. Born in Bristol, Virginia in 1930 and the grandson of enslaved Black people, Miller was one of the first Black graphic designers to be employed at an internationally renowned design firm!

Miller was interested in art from a young age, and after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in education and serving in the military in WWII, he attended art school in Chicago. He turned down a position at a firm in New York that would have had him working behind the scenes, and joined Morton Goldsholl Associates in Chicago. In addition to collaborating on the Motorola logo in 1955, Miller was part of the teams that designed the logo for the Peace Corps and spearheaded a rebrand for 7-Up.

Miller gave back to his community in his work, as well—his mosaics of the founders of the DuSable Museum of African American History are on display in the museum’s permanent collection to this day.

“I know what it’s like to move through this space alone. Over the past ten years, I have held various design roles in tech, at companies both large and small. Pacific Islanders make up less than 1% of the total US population, so although I don’t expect to see many PI’s working in Tech, I am consistently surprised by the lack of Black and Brown representation. For the first four years of my career, I only worked with one other person of color in design. I don’t need to tell you that there is a lack of diversity in tech, the numbers speak for themselves.” - Pou Dimitrijevich

Though the injustices of and disparities invoked by our nation’s white supremacist structures are more apparent now than at any time since the Civil Rights Movement, for us at IP, rebuilding systems and empowering Black, Latinx, and folks from underrepresented communities of color has always been an urgent issue.

We take this day to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr for his life and legacy, and to continue striving toward the future of which he dreamed. ✊🏾❤️

In a year marked by loss—of lives due to the pandemic and state-sanctioned violence, and opportunities due to the necessary shelter in place—it’s important that we also hold space for joy and possibilities of what the world can be.

Thursday at 5:00, join us for an info session for “Designing Mothership: Voyage into Afrofuturism”, a virtual workshop we’ll be hosting with our friends at Oakland Museum of California!

Starting in December, the museum will present an exhibit on , a movement that centers Black voices, joy, and wisdom, and imagines a just present and future. (Think Black Panther!)

Students who participate will get to work on one of the posters that’ll be displayed in the exhibit, and also get free tickets for the museum, which reopens later this month!
