Panel: Life after the PDC

Posted by: Alice on Jul 21, 2010

There are thousands upon thousands of PDC graduates in the world.
And certainly at least 100 PDC graduates in NYC.

What have post-PDC grads been up to?
How did you continue your education/study/practice and what are you doing now?
Can you support yourself with your PDC work?

I would like to organize a panel of PDC grads who want to share the significant large or small scale projects that you've started/gotten involved in.
