NYCxDESIGN is guided by core values of community, creativity, inclusivity, diversity, and sustainable design for the greater good. Beyond our annual Festival, our year-round programming provides a platform for NYC’s diverse design talent, from students and emerging designers to seasoned professionals. Each program fosters connection, education, and inspiration, empowering the next generation to use design as a powerful tool for positive impact and addressing the world’s most pressing needs.
As fast-growing sports like men’s soccer and women’s basketball surge in popularity, Sport, Style & Influence will explore the role of brand, storytelling, design and the cult of personality in driving this cultural momentum. Bringing together voices from across the sports world, our panel will discuss how athletes, leagues, and creative collaborators are redefining what it means to build a modern sports brand.
The panel will be hosted by DesignStudio and will include:
Erynn Hughes, Creative Strategist at Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA)
Roman King, Creative Director at Major League Soccer (MLS)
Tucker Hughes, Senior Director of Partnerships at Boardroom
Richard Swain, Principal at DesignStudio (Moderator)
