Monthly Design Review has been a crucial part of the growth for my company Big New Ideas, started at the end of 2009 as a magazine to explore applications of design theories and methods. It soon became clear that producing a quality monthly publication wasn't sustainable. In January of 2010, the original contributors the magazine gather for beer at SALT Space in Flatiron of New York City, the one-off gathering turned into series of intellectually simulating conversations around design and creativity. Since then, we began to meet on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Towards the end of the year, we began inviting an array of speakers to inspire our creative community and stimulate conversation including Scott Belsky of Behance, Simon Sinek and Viktoria Harrison of Charity:Water.
