Due to the current health crisis, the 2020 Stamford Boys & Girls Club 5K went virtual this year. Our team this year included Dan Taylor, Chris Taylor, Nora Vaivads, Steve Habersang, Kristine Habersang, and Cindy Lau. All proceeds raised will benefit the Stamford Boys & Girls Club.
Our 2020 Taylor Design Calendar entry has been selected to be published in Creative Quarterly 60, which will go live in November 2020. It was designed by Bria, written by Stacey, illustrated by Iris, printed by Printech, and conceived by the Taylor Design team.
With Dan serving as the moderator, Francesco Bertocci, the Customer Success Manager and Ambassador at Sketch, taught the wireframing, visual design, interaction design, and prototyping app to AIGA CT members and guests on Wednesday May 20th.
As the spread of COVID-19 continues, we are doing our best to navigate through this extremely unusual circumstance. Together, as a community, we are confident that we can find our way through this. We are fully open for business and we have moved all of our staff from our downtown Stamford studio to remote home work locations. We had already made the move of all project files to a secure Dropbox environment last year, so there will be no issues in terms of work productivity. We can conduct conference calls and screen share meetings as needed. All of our designers and programmers can be reached directly on their usual Taylor Design email addresses. If you need to reach anyone by phone, use our main 203-969-7200 number and we can connect you.
Taylor Design is serving as a book drop-off location in advance of the Connecticut Art Director’s Club’s Ready, Set, Go Student Workshop. The collected design books will be distributed to graphic design students at the January 25th event.
As a board member of AIGA Connecticut, Dan coordinated the fall speaker showcase event at the University of Bridgeport’s Shintaro Akatsu School of Design. The graphic design legend Gail Anderson gave an inspirational speech. Hannah, Cindy, Nora, and Iris joined Dan for the talk.
Join Dan on Friday, September 27th at 10:30 am as he hosts and moderates the “Trendspotting: Your Future Customer” panel discussion at Stamford Innovation Week. Happening at UConn Stamford GeRe Auditorium. To find out more and register, visit: https://siweek.org
The 2019 Stamford Boys & Girls Club 5K attracted over 2,000 runners. Our team this year included (from left to right) Dan Taylor, Steve Habersang, Connie Tao, Iris Tao, Cindy Lau, and Hannah Fichandler. Chris Taylor, who photographed this image, also ran with us. Over $200,000 were raised to benefit the Stamford Boys & Girls Club.
Steve Habersang and Cindy Lau’s fun and colorful concept “Rocket Pop!” was selected for Stamford Downtown’s 2019 Space Invasion outdoor sculpture exhibit. They have been hard at work on their 8-foot tall sculpture in a studio space on Atlantic Street. It goes on display for the summer the first week of June. At the end of the exhibit, the spacecraft will be sold at auction with proceeds benefitting the Veterans Park Initiative.
