Gift and Gourmet Expert Appointed to Design Program Advisory Board

The Rutgers University Center for Innovation Education has appointed Shirley George Frazier to the advisory board of the Center’s Design Thinking Program.

In this invitation-only appointment, Frazier will share her years of design expertise with faculty and students at conferences, forums, and classroom visits on the Rutgers campus. She will also promote the program’s goal of linking industry with academia to ensure that resulting design projects benefit the business community.

“Influencing the next phase of socially-responsible designs and makers is a lifelong achievement,” says Frazier, who’s developed, judged, and presented seminars on design and packaging concepts for clients and at trade shows throughout the U.S.

Frazier is Founder and President of Sweet Survival LLC, a consulting firm assisting entrepreneurs in the start-up stages of stores selling gifts, gourmet, and gift baskets. She’s also a professional speaker on small business topics and author of numerous business and marketing books.
