Creative Boom New York
New York doesn't need an introduction – it needs an editor. Here's ours: a meetup where nobody hands you a name badge, plus the shows actually worth seeing, the studios doing the city's most exciting work, and jobs with salaries on every listing.
Meet Jasha and Grace
Jasha Aitchison is a product designer who spends her days bringing order to design systems. Grace Heitmann is a graphic designer and art director who cares about type the way New Yorkers care about bagels.
Between them, they've built the rarest thing in this city: a room where nobody's networking and everybody's talking. It works like this: you turn up, someone says hi, and two drinks later you've met a type designer, an animator and someone who art-directs cereal boxes for a living. Free, regular, zero agenda. That's it. That's the event.
