Last week the Design Leadership Network celebrated it’s 10th year and hosted our group in Los Angeles. I thought I would share a few of my favorite moments with the group and the rest of a great week.
Paul Goldberger interviewed Frank Gehry at his Walt Disney Concert Hall, and we all had dinner on site.
(The other Andy Cohen, co-CEO of Gensler, and a panel including one of my classmates, Mark Rios, of Rios Clementi Hale Studios talked about their firms and philosophies.

We had lunch with Jared Fortunato and went to his show at the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art.
Odys & Penelope Churrisco and Grille on La Brea was my favorite restaurant this trip.
Perhaps the biggest highlight was an impromptu (and magical) dinner for 25 dinner at Kathryn Ireland‘s studio where she designs and manufactures all the fabrics. She is the perfect hostess.
