going through old emails and found a message from @brimer about a “Superconductor Sponsorship”.
whenever I think of GA, I’ll never forget that name!

10 years ago, @GA signed a 10 year lease at 902 Broadway in Manhattan. At the time it was just @brimer, @jakeschwartz, @adampritzker, @mimiochun, and me. It's absolutely wild to see that first space again without walls or furniture a decade later.
Gah end of an era! Missing my OG @GA crew in our South Wing home.

There are far too few people of color in the American design community. We are committed to bringing more Black design talent onto our platform. Today we commit to #15percentpledge in devoting 15% of our inventory to Black makers.

“The opportunity for the entire world to take a pause instead of just rushing, to see what matters to them, what they really value— that can be an amazing thing that collectively comes out of this.” -Matthew Brimer @brimer, co-founder @GA & @dybrkr on @TatlerAsia’s #GenTStream.

A little design #escapism is never a bad thing, especially when it's the astonishingly detailed tiny rooms and #tinyfurniture from @rokubunnnoichi in Japan

We're fascinated by the article out from @elizabethics exploring how epidemics impacted interior design. Who knew #subwaytiles used in restaurants proliferated as a means to make people feel more safe in the wake of foodborne diseases? #solutionsnotproblems #pandemicsolutions
Here are a few examples of home design elements tied to attempts to prevent or slow the spread of infectious disease. archdg.co/BYB4ShC

Congrats @WhitneyFalk & @brimer .. who just-launched @zzdriggs with some of the most iconic and authentic furniture in the history of design for rent or purchase. zzdriggs.com/

Bill Gates is setting up factories to manufacture 7 leading vaccine candidates before we know which is best & safest; we can test the vaccines in parallel, and then throw away all but the factory for the best vaccine. May save many months.
Just extraordinary.

A founder I talked with earlier shared profound belief:
The big trend that is upon us isn't "remote work" but the "integration of work and life."
He believes this integration will help people live more authentically and realize more of their potential.

Last week reflected on what a special, entrepreneurial community we had @GA. So many former colleagues started companies
maybe its the 24/7 covid news but feeling grateful for this crew😊
thank you @jakeschwartz @brimer @bhargreaves @adampritzker for helping create this culture

I’m continually amazed by our phenomenal @GA team. We converted a hundred courses to live online programs in 6 days, so students could continue their journeys without having to risk their health or that of their communities. Thank you to our instructors, staff, and students!
