Celebrating the magazine's annual issue of the same name, The Time 100 Gala invites the "100 Most Influential People in the World", and past honorees, to a decadent evening in New York City. An amalgamation of toasts, speeches, comedy, music, and on-the-pulse hob-nobbing, the event welcomes and attracts a diverse, distinguished, and often Secret Service protected the crowd.
Traditionally sparse decor, including column wraps and gobo projections, was bolstered in 2012 where the cocktail-enjoying atrium was wrapped in a white muslin photo wall, highlighted by a glowing edge molding. A portion of this span was removed during the program, so guests returned to the space to find an inviting lounge and DJ platform for the on-site afterparty.
I served as both Creative Director and Design Director for the four years I was fortunate to work on this amazing and global-influencer event.
