An Ode to NYC

Over the past several months, our city and many across the country have experienced significant moments that will impact the local communities forever. To express the connections that designers from near and far feel for New York, NYCxDesign invited global creative leaders to share their sentiments.

In TPG's Ode to NYC, led by our Managing Executive Mavis Wiggins, we created the image and wrote this statement to accompany how we feel as an organization:

"Over this past month, we have borne witness to a national call to action for the black lives matter movement. George Floyd’s death incited an awe-inspiring protest for social justice, equality, and a brighter future for the black community. Our graphic illustration captures these events and shows us that everyone - regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or religion must come together to create an uplifting and positive future. We must continue to learn and educate ourselves and others, carry integrity and honesty in our hearts, and stand tall in the face of injustice."
