These dynamic leaders have been selected for their commitment to collaboration and their dedication to addressing and resolving the root causes, rather than just the symptoms, of New York City’s most challenging economic issues.

A Reflection on my Summer Internship

By Madeleine Lyon

It is my final day at Two Twelve and I am currently looking out from the window closest to me and admiring the view for as long as I possibly can.I arrived what seemed to be a day ago, but months have passed and soon, so shall my co-op. I could ramble on for hours about the fresh ideas and lessons I have witnessed in the workplace and in New York in general, or what was probably brought back to Cincinnati from New York from a design and cultural basis…but then I might as well draft and publish a memoir the size of a novella, and I doubt I can do that within the eight hours of my last day so hopefully this reflection will do.

Home Sweet Home

For almost a year now we have been traveling to Los Angeles to work with a great client there. Because we like to eat delicious food, we love to scour this huge city for good eats. Near our client’s office we had lunch poolside at The Roof on Wilshire. A friend took me to Chosun, which has fantastic Korean barbecue. There’s Mercado for great Mexican and Carmela’s next door for small batch ice cream. After work the rooftop bar at the Ace Hotel is a nice hangout, while Slurping Ramen hits the spot for a lighter dinner. I could go and on and on and on.

Inspiration Station: Gingerbread House Competition

When your brain is oriented to translate complex information into user friendly, navigable graphics and circulation patterns, you tend to have a skewed perception of the world. You’re running to the subway and a baffling sign makes you miss your train. You’re visiting a museum and the hand held map has you walking south when the exhibit is north. We approach situations already looking for the solutions, before we even know if there’s a problem. So once in awhile, your brain could use a break from the practical, and some room to wander. Thanks to the innovation and thoughtfulness of our very own designers, Kevin Spencer and Jen Vitello, Inspiration Station is that very break.
