Your NYCxDESIGN Week Preview
Last May, the biggest trend of NYCxDesign was hot dogs. Everywhere. I wrote about it.
Though this year’s doesn’t officially kick off until May 15, the activations, shows, and parties are already in full swing. Below are some of the picks I’m most looking forward to on my radar. Maybe we rebrand it to Design Month next year?
And since there are a lot of new people here, presumably for this list, hi! Please feel free to share and comment anything you’re looking forward to that I have missed!
What’s Working: Designing Brand Worlds
First, I must tell you that I’m hosting a conversation on the roof at The Malin Soho on Designing Brand Worlds with Michael Scanlon of Chandelier Creative, Alex Tan of Mouthwash Studio, and Sarah Di Domenico of Wedge. I’m truly thrilled. It’s a topic I cover, think about, and work with clients on every day… and selfishly something I’ve long wanted to discuss with these three :). Come join us.
