We are pleased to announce the addition of Britt Rynearson as a member of The Greenwood Collective. Her textile design work is impressively bright, elegant, and energetic.

A bit of high fashion and high art will enrich the diverse Collective crew.

For a brief look at Britt’s bold designs, please view more information here.

Create for a Cause has a project underway in Rwanda led by philanthropist Chrissie Lam. She has facilitated a collaborative effort between artists, designers, and activists to create positive change and is working with the Gisimba Orphanage as her first partnered organization.
