HONORING ALINA WHEELER

This event is also honoring the late Alina Wheeler (1948–2023) as co-author of the book and for her active involvement with AIGA — and specifically AIGA Philadelphia — over the years. Throughout her illustrious life, Alina exhibited unwavering commitment to design leadership, holding various roles within AIGA. When she published the first edition of Designing Brand Identity in 2003, it was because in her words, “I really wrote it because it didn’t exist” and “I wanted it on my shelf.” Today, the book is frequently pulled down from countless shelves around the world. While Alina’s books have illuminated branding for countless students and professionals, those who knew her will also remember her warmth, wisdom, and wit.
