On April 27th, 2006, Summer Rayne spoke with students about her work at the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum's "I Heart Design" conference. Building socially- and environmentally-responsible ventures through fashion and media was her principle topic of conversation with students. The conference, sponsored every year by Target and hosted at the Design Museum, brings high school students from across the U.S. to NYC to have one-on-one discussions with design professionals.
