Make It Okay
OkayBeta highlights the commercial, academic and personal work of Carl Bender, an interactive and print designer currently living in San Francisco, California. Carl moved to the Bay Area in the Fall of 2007 from Philadelphia where he was working for over five years in interactive design while dabbling in print in his spare time. At the moment he works as a Senior Designer at I shot him because I loved him, damn him, a design novelty working to "Change Hearts, Minds and Habits." When not designing for change, Carl is doing freelance work and putting time into the many other design projects he is a part of. As a designer he tries to do his part to “make it okay.” That means exposing people to both the injustice and beauty in the world through his work.
