Clever Ep. 133: Design Not Guns

This special episode of Clever podcast is an edited broadcast of a discussion from WantedDesign Manhattan’s Online Conversation Series 2020. The conversation is hosted by Amy Devers of Clever, with Roberto Juárez, designer and co-founder of Lero Studio in San Salvador along with Bernhardt Design’s Jerry Helling. They discuss Roberto’s passionate mission helping 10- to 15-year-old at-risk children in impoverished gang ravaged neighborhoods in El Salvador to embrace design rather than gang membership.
