Dining By Design and the rest of '09


Reflecting on Twenty Oh Nine. Oh what a year. I've blogged (although seldomly) about grand openings, Green Tie Ball, AKIRA Garden of Eden Fashion Show and more. I've worked with baseball legends Ron Kittle (White Sox, he was our hilarious "bouncer" at the Garrett Popcorn grand opening), and Fergie Jenkins (my client Lawry's The Prime Rib hosted a party to celebrate his Chicago Cubs jersey retirement). I had the privilege of publicizing the work of celebrity hair stylist George Gonzalez of George the Salon on an incredible campaign with Between Friends agency for Domestic Violence Awareness month in October.

In November, I worked with DIFFA Chicago (Design Industry Foundation Fighting AIDS) on Dining by Design- securing one of the best design/build companies in the business The Dobbins Group ,who joined forces with Vancouver's interior designer Jillian Harris, to create a fun "Man Glam" tablescape (pictured above in no particular order: Jillian & Ed, Vincent & Lonnie from Genuine Entertainment, D.C. and Alayna Crenshaw, Tom and Suzie Dobbins, Alex Vaysman & Lindsey Kirleis of The Dobbins Group).

Looking forward to all the excitement of the ever-evolving PR industry in 2010.
Happy Holidays!
