T. Annie certainly lived up to her profile description of being "obsessed with things relating to social design, improving interactions and experiences, sustainability..." with her winning Buy Locally, Connect Locally concept on our Vibrant Cities Challenge. Her engaging video inspired collaborators to rally around this stellar idea and we hope she'll be back to participate on future challenges!
