FAVORITE INTERSECTION
Fifth Avenue and Central Park South because on a beautiful day in the spring you can soak in the energy of the city and watch the park come to life. The intersection of vibrant city life and nature.

FAVORITE INTERSECTION
The corner of ‘Love’ and ‘Loyalty’. For people and brands the two rarely intersect at first sight; typically there is a long journey from one to the other. Most relationships need wooing - attention, respect nurturing - to foster love and loyalty. That’s why I dig what I do. The art of woo.

FAVORITE INTERSECTION
In the intersection of speaking and listening is communication. When speaking comes from a place of listening, not ego, that is true communication. Then our words become tools to build trust, tell stories, save lives, and start revolutions.

FAVORITE INTERSECTION
The interconnectedness of hope and faith. Hope is a desire for something wanted and faith is the confidence that turns hope into a reality. Without hope there is nothing for faith to create from and without faith, hope is powerless.

Christian Struzan, Senior Creative Director
FAVORITE INTERSECTION
The intersection of Big Sky (Ideas) and Hard Road (Realities). Idea is King, the bigger the better. An idea is the fuel that propels everything we do. How that idea manifests in the real world can be tricky, and sometimes require even greater creativity to understand. That intersection is always changing and ever intriguing.

FAVORITE INTERSECTION
The intersection of “can't” and “must”. It's at the moment where those two meet that we have to get to the heart of what needs to be done, and simplify our expectation of it. Often our most creative, unexpected, and exciting thinking can be traced back to these intersections, and the hard work makes the result all the more satisfying.

FAVORITE INTERSECTION
The intersection of passion and discovery. Bring passion to everything you do and try to discover something new every day. This is where I live. For creativity to thrive, these two roads must intersect often and without fail.

FAVORITE INTERSECTION
The intersection between the glass half-full and the glass half-empty. If half of the cup is air and the other half is water, technically, the glass is always full.

FAVORITE INTERSECTION
My favorite intersection is the one closest to my home, Coldwater and Magnolia. This is the place where my life changed forever. A collision between Life and Self. Where Chaos met Strength. I travel through it often and remind myself of the importance of self-expression, but, even more, its effect on the larger canvas.

FAVORITE INTERSECTION
In my travels to 82 countries in this world of ours, I've been through many intersections. None compares to the intersection of art and science. I use a machine that is based in zeroes and ones to convey ideas in art, the contrast of these two things could not be more polar. Mimicking reality in 3D and generating photo illustrations. I enjoy being able to bring an emotional response from art created on a computer: a machine that can do nothing without me.

FAVORITE INTERSECTION
“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood”, because every day we stand on the precipice of separate journeys and being authentic to oneself, even in the face of uncertainty, is always the right path.

Molly Dempsey, Program Director
FAVORITE INTERSECTION
The place where thinking and feeling come together. It takes empathy to know your customers and intelligence to serve them well. I love the marriage of art and science in the work that we do, crafting emotional connections founded in solid research and structured planning.
