During the holiday season the Detroit Center for Design + Technology typically partners with local designers and business owners for events like our Noel Night Sustainable Pop-up.

Because 2020 has us all working from home, we’re spotlighting some of our favorite businesses here. And one of our longtime collaborators is Not Sorry Apparel, a Women-, Black- and Latinx-owned Detroit-based business that specializes in upcycled and sustainable goods.

Owners Dy-Min Johnson and Jessica Minnick say their customers “are some of the most authentic people we’ve ever met. They inspire our work.”

Find out what’s new at Not Sorry Apparel this season and let’s get shopping.

We’re checking in @Home with… Architecture Student Luke Blair who has learned a lot about himself, his work and his educational experiences from Lawrence Technological University throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

​Luke Blair is in his 4th year studying architecture at Lawrence Technological University (LTU). He commutes from nearby Farmington Hills. Luke also works as a research assistant. Both his studio and school work this semester focus on architectural practices and techniques that contribute to a circular construction model. Circular construction aims to minimize waste by recycling and reusing a building’s parts and materials.

​We found out more about that recently. Here’s what he had to say.
