Across the pond we went, from Covington, KY to London, England.

Core Idea: Design is Everywhere

In the fall we all took a trip to London, England together. Of course we took advantage of touristy things like seeing Stongehenge, Tower of London, Windsor Castle, the British Museum and lots more. Our main focus was to draw inspiration from these experiences and observe the design and art that was all around us.

In London, everyone benefits from good design—it’s inclusive and touches every aspect of daily life. It’s not just designers who appreciate it. Even regular folks understand the importance of good design. They see that design isn’t just about making things look beautiful but also about making everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable.

We noticed this especially with the London Underground, but it extends to unexpected places like dentists’ offices, parks, and even London’s national lottery branding.

One of our favorite parts was witnessing locals in their daily commute and routine. Not only did we snag some pictures of them as we passed by, but we also would doodle them in our sketchbooks later that night. We ended up with an assortment of fun drawings, each in our unique style.

Thankfully, we have some natural photographers on our team who were able to capture us and the beauty of the city—the architecture, nature, and all.

This trip was truly an incredible experience that we all got to share as a team. For many of us, it was our first time traveling abroad! We had a blast exploring old pubs, munching on “chips,” and visiting monumental sites like Stonehenge—all in a day’s work. We soaked up the city’s design, history, and culture like sponges. Until next time, London!”
