Photos: Bond Street Bash 2025

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the 2025 Bond Street Bash! The packed room was a testament to the power of collaborative design and a warm welcome for our new Executive Director Hayley Eber. As Hayley said: As we embark on this new chapter, we’ll continue to champion design projects that don’t just look good, but do good – projects that empower communities, foster inclusivity, and truly reflect the diverse needs of our cities.

We were also thrilled to honor four changemakers through our inaugural Inclusive Design Awards:

Hana Kassem, Principal, KPF
Mark Gardner, Principal, Jaklitsch/Gardner Architects
Luke Hayman, Partner, Pentagram
Yvonne Stennett, Executive Director, Community League of the Heights

Their work is a testament to the power of thoughtful design and a shared commitment to making public spaces more accessible and equitable for everyone — in New York City and beyond.

Special thanks to our host committee, who brought so much thought and dedication to last night’s event: Katie Swenson, Senior Principal, MASS Design Group (Chair); Taylor Loutsis, Founder and Creative Director, Studio Loutsis; Sebastian Mendez, Founder, Tankhouse; and Kia Weatherspoon, President, Determined by Design.

We’re so grateful to the friends, collaborators, and supporters who make our work possible. If you haven’t had a chance yet, consider amplifying our impact by making a donation. By powering our work, your donations forge deeper connections between designers, communities, and civic leaders.
