This week we take a deeper dive into two things that have been on my mind lately- the freedom to say what you are thinking and feeling and expressing that without a filter and disruption as it relates to design.

This week as we wrap up the season at the New York Auto Show- I share my thoughts on the new We Love NYC logo design- and the personal love I have for the city through all of my life milestones that have happened in the city or while I was in the city. 

Today I am sharing the road of an actual event from the first presentation and creative strategy to the the creative process and building something as a unit- as well as the transformation from a designer to a creative director- and the absolute power of emotive and meaningful experiences when you get to see an event unfold.
