Steve Duenes, Fernanda Viégas, and Andrew Kuo are among the many designers who organize,…

Teams That Fit: An interview with Athletics
It all started in a former boxing gym. These are design professionals at the top of their game, with complimentary skills, all working under a united moniker. What’s most notable about the Brooklyn-based collective, though, is not the business model itself, but how that model has allowed their range and scope of work to evolve….

Stop Making Things Hard On Yourself: An interview with Jason Fried
There’s little doubt that we live in an increasingly gray world. Entertainment, politics, religion, economics, the arts: all seem to be caught in whishy-washy webs of confusion.

Working With Graphic Designers: A Few Words With James Biber
You might recall, in October 2007, AIGA/NY delivered Proust questionnaires to modern icons Wim Crouwel and Massimo Vignelli. Both said they’d choose to come back as architects in another life.

Speak To Their Hearts: A Brief Interview With Allan Chochinov
When I think of Kelly Dobson and Tobias Wong, humor (of course) comes to mind. Dobson’s and Wong’s recontextualized objets d’design have earned them reputations as witty producers that blur the lines between design, engineering, criticism, and art.
