General

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.

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.

Our client Hudson Valley Fisheries was profiled in The New York Times on March 18th. Their signature product, New York Steelhead, is farmed in an indoor facility and raised without hormones or antibiotics.

Our client Green Chimneys was profiled in The New York Times on March 1st. A school for special-needs children located in Putnam County, N.Y., Green Chimneys pioneered the idea that emotionally challenged children could gain confidence and become socially adept by caring for animals. Our design and interactive team of Steve Habersang, Bria Caso, and Hannah Wool created the school’s new website. Article by Richard Schiffma, photo by Desiree Rios.
