BUILD ANNUAL SUMMER SOIREE

Marset USA Showroom · Brooklyn, NY

What an afternoon. 🧡

Our Annual Summer Soiree at Marset USA's Brooklyn showroom brought together so many incredible people from across lighting, interior design, architecture, education, and construction, and we are still glowing from it. To everyone who came out, whether you've been with BUILD since the beginning or this was your first event, thank you for showing up and being part of this community!

We are grateful to our sponsors Marset and Coronet LED for your continued belief in our mission and vision!!

None of it happens without the people who make BUILD, BUILD. Endless thanks to Quincy, Richard, Victoria and Alexandria for planning this event with so much care and intention!

OUR SPEAKERS

Kamille Glenn | Founder, dsgnrs.wrkshp

We were honored to hear Kamille share her vision for bringing design education into K-12 classrooms and building workshops that open doors early for the next generation.

Edward Bartholomew | Founder, Light Justice

Edward, a co-founder of BUILD, took us back through the organization's history and how it came to be, and gave us a preview of an upcoming Light Justice symposium: more details coming soon, and we cannot wait to share them with you.

And to our photographer, Niko Manigat of Suave Productions, who captured every bit of the joy, connection, and light in that room: thank you for giving us a way to hold onto this afternoon.

Grateful as always for our community partners, NYCOBA NOMA and BID Inc., for continuing to show up alongside us.
