VIA Studio sponsors LGDA/Ryan Singer event

We’ve been working for awhile at the Louisville Graphic Design Association to get some good web-focused designers in to speak to our group. This is the first in what will hopefully be many more. We encourage anyone interested in design for web and web-apps come out to this event. Not to mention it’s catered by the Mayan Cafe!
