The BBG team recently went to New York City to help to run The Secret Handshake conference at the Art Directors Club in Manhattan.
It always recharges our batteries to help with these events and to get a little inspiration from the speakers, young professionals and students we meet.
We had a great time meeting the 200 different attendees, some of whom came from as far away as Pakistan, and hearing each of the speakers’ perspectives on their work and experience. A special thanks to Sharlene King (Senior Designer, Morningstar) who MC’d the event and to each and every one of the speakers who contributed to an amazing experience:
- Ping Zhu (Illustrator)
- Shawna X (Designer & Illustrator)
- Sophia Chang (Designer)
- Simone Noronha (Designer, Google Creative Lab)
- Amy Woodside (Founder, OKReal)
- Rafael Mojica (Director of UX & Product, Transfix)
- Jen Mussari (Illustrator & Designer, Ghostly Ferns)
- Lisa Smith (Head of Design, Wolff Olins)
- Kayla Kern (Illustrator & Designer)
- Ja Tecson (Photographer)
- Alyxa Lease (Recruiter, Foursquare)
- Aran Rhee (Product Designer, Salesforce)
