Happy Birthday, Hot Studio
Maria Giudice
Founder, Executive Leadership Coach, Co-author of Rise of the DEO and Changemakers
Hot Studio, you were born on July 25, 1997.
When I was a student at Cooper Union, I dreamt that one day I would be part of an “artist’s collective” where I can learn from and be inspired by some of the smartest people I know. My dream came true when I founded Hot Studio 18 years ago.
Hot Studio was all about the people who contributed to our amazing, fun, culture and the work we put out into the world. We were all into this adventure together. We’ve built friendships and relationships that will last throughout our lifetimes. I am so so grateful to all the people who made Hot Studio a special place for 15+ years.
Our website (www.hotstudio.com) still stands as a great testament to the work we did on behalf of our clients and their customers. We truly believe that design can change the world, and our job as designers is to improve people’s lives in small and large ways.
Our former employees are carrying on the tradition of making the world a better place in their own unique ways. Hot Studio is no longer an operating business, but the spirit of our great company will always live in our hearts and minds.
Happy Birthday Hot Studio.
Partner at McKinsey & Company
9 年Maria Giudice, you created the best culture for design I have ever seen. I think about you and how you did it often, when guiding my clients. Beyond that you are an amazing leader, designer, mentor and friend. I miss you and Hot. V2? ;)
