At Indy Hall, it's always been a mission to help independent people choose independent and alternative careers, but the #1 barrier continues to be affordable access to quality (hell, 

Our healthcare system is not built for the fast-growing independent workforce. It often costs a fortune to see a doctor even 

 you've paid hundreds of dollars for a premium, so people are either trapped in jobs they hate or just...don't go to the doctor. Both bad for your health. 

For many years, our founder Alex has been on a personal quest to find healthcare options that genuinely makes sense for freelancers, independent workers, and Indy Hall members. After countless attempts and dead ends, we believe we've 

found an option that flips everything we know about traditional healthcare and 

On February 3rd at Show & Tell, Indy Hall welcomes Anthony Cafagna of Vitable Health. 

Vitable is a Philly-based healthcare provider that's focuses on making healthcare accessible and affordable for all people and all career types (especially people who are most often uninsured and underinsured), while also 

 the quality of care and healthcare experience. 

Anthony will share background on the company, how & why the traditional approach to healthcare is broken, and how Vitable is doing it differently with their providers. Attendees will be invited to join a pilot partnership between Indy Hall and Vitable to offer members and their entire households affordable access to virtual & in-person care. 

Indy Hall members work differently, so our healthcare model should work differently too. We think Vitable could be a game changer. (Plus, Alex and I are both personally enrolled so make sure to ask Alex about his experience with a home healthcare visit!)

Attending this Show & Tell is completely free, and open to all independents/self employed people in the greater Philadelphia area. 

You do not need to be an Indy Hall member to attend!

Letter writing happy hour

• You’re a small business owner who’s ready to get up and running, but you don’t have a logo, brand colors, or typography set yet.

• You want to invest in professional design, but don’t have the money for the investment just yet.

• You need something to get you by for the time being, and are willing to invest some of your own time to DIY a brand identity that’ll do the trick while you save.

Over the years of working as a Brand Identity Strategist and Designer, Nicola Black, noticed that there is a missing link between DIY and professional design. And after seeing it pop up repeatedly, she realized that she could help!

So she decided to write an Ebook called, Logo To Go, to serve as an in-between – as the missing link between DIY and hiring a professional. Because jumping from the professional inquiry straight to DIY can be dangerous without some idea of the process or the insight a professional would bring to the project.

During this show and tell, Nicola will talk about why she wrote the book, who she aims to help, and also dive into some of the fun stuff covered within Logo To Go's pages.

, co-organizers of Design Justice Philly, a local node of the Design Justice Network.  

Design mediates so much of our realities and has tremendous impact on our lives, yet very few of us participate in design processes. In particular, the people who are most adversely affected by design decisions — about visual culture, new technologies, the planning of our communities, or the structure of our political and economic systems — tend to have the least influence on those decisions and how they are made.

Design justice rethinks design processes, centers people who are normally marginalized by design, and uses collaborative, creative practices to address the deepest challenges our communities face.
