This Wednesday, MAY 6th, join us for a panel with Colm Dillane, designer and founder of @kidsuper , who went from directing at Puma Group & Louis Vuitton to collabs with Mercedes-Benz AG & Musee du Louvreone, all while building one of the most impactful global brands out of Brooklyn.
Joining him: Arjun Singh, Co-founder @gullylabs.global and Professor Raaghav Pandya at the Innervate Lab for a conversation on how inner voice and design belong at the center of learning spaces.
What to expect:
👟 Sneaker + merch redesign challenge (with @gullylabs.global )
🗣️ Live creative feedback
🧠 Real insight from someone who went from a Brooklyn basement to LV without losing what made him original!
This event is open to all.
Our COMD creatives teamed up with @nycruns to design cool things for @brooklynexperiencehalf .
Students collaborated with NYCRUNS Creative Director Liz Burr to bring their ideas to life, from a bold, selfie-worthy mural to merch and stickers runners could take home. Inspired by Brooklyn’s energy, these designs didn’t just decorate the race, they became part of it.
🙌 Congrats to students, professor, #COMD, and #NYCRUNS collaborators who made it happen! Proof that design doesn’t just sit on a page, it moves with people.

Last weekend, our COMD creatives showed up and showed out at CUNY’s FIRST ever AI Design hackathon hosted by @designpreneurshackathon
In less than 24 hours, students were tasked with solving a real City Tech commuter challenge, reimagining how travel time can work in their favor instead of against them. Using AI technology, they prototyped digital solutions and presented their pitches to a panel of top industry leaders.
Thank you to the mentors for their guidance and support, the judges for their valuable insight and @sallyinutopia + @designpreneurshackathon for organizing such an incredible event.
Shout out to ALL the hackers for the creativity, energy, and grind you put in. Seriously impressive work in such a short time 👏
Special congrats to our top teams:
🥇: Amir Gamble, Keshawn Howe @0xchromuh@isthatkeee
🥈: Mehmet Vardal, NourMohsen, Parth Patel @mehmetttttttt9@parthph004@nourmwalid
🥉: Malachi Patton, Valeria Lee, Vicky Dominguez @kaiiiii_24

Art & Design Club took a field trip to the New York Times! We explored the newsroom, museum, and Pulitzer Prize wall, and got an inside look at the creative process with NYT Art Director Felicia Vasquez. #comd #nytimes
Kicking off the NYC x AI Design Hackathon today at @comd_citytech@cunyedu ⚡
The student hackers will be creating solutions for NYC Subway, this isn’t just about the visual campaigns, it’s about behavior, creativity, system, and how AI reshapes the way we design for commuters in NYC.
Grateful to have an incredible group of judges shaping the conversation, from Amazon, Google, and AKQA, bringing real-world perspective into the room. And to our mentors—designers and builders actively working at the edge of AI, thank you for guiding, challenging, and elevating every team in this space over this weekend!
Let’s see what happens when you give designers a real NYC subway problem prompt, a clock, and the freedom to think bigger with AI. Final pitches tomorrow at 1pm. 🚀Link in bio.
