The Information Blanket
As a designer and executive creative director, Neil has extensive experience on brands such as The Coca-Cola Company, BMW North America, Jim Beam Brands, Time Magazine, Kellogg’s and Nikon to name a few. In response to PSFK’s The Future of Health” report, Powell created the Information Blanket, traveling to Uganda to launch the blanket with his NGO partner, Shanti Uganda, a birthing center two hours north of Kampala that provides pre- and post-natal care and midwife birthing to local women. In June of 2011, Neil left his post as a Partner and Executive Creative Director of Beattie McGuinness Bungay in New York to pursue the project as a full-time endeavor.
