As a transplanted New Yorker who has lived in Boston most of my adult life, it has been exciting for me to witness how Boston has changed over the years. Unlike its old "stodgy" image, I see Boston as comparable to some wonderful, dynamic European cities. Boston will never be a New York due to its smaller physical size and population, but it will hopefully continue to develop its strength and sophistication in the arts and design.

Thanks for mentioning my article to your readers! I truly feel that Boston is becoming the "Hub of Design". Aside from my site and the few other examples I mentioned in the article, a look at recent and upcoming features of our local shelter magazines reflects the direction we're headed in: Boston Home showcased "The Hot 50" next-generation designers in their most recent issue, and New England Home recently awarded their "5 Under 40" winners. The financial strength of those magazines -- in a segment of the industry that's been hit rather hard over the last year or so -- speaks to the interest in Design around Boston and across New England. Efforts by non-design specific groups -- like Boston World Partnerships and T5Boston -- will have a corollary benefit on the design industry: As new businesses move to Boston, or more conventions brought, there will be a corresponding boom in construction for additional office space, convention centers, hotels and more. This can help Boston shake off the "stodgy" image we've had for too long. In (not so) short, I love design, and I love this city, and I look forward to Boston becoming as great as I know it can be. Hi, Leslie. Thanks for mentioning my article to your readers!

I truly feel that Boston is becoming the “Hub of Design”. Aside from my site and the few other examples I mentioned in the article, a look at recent and upcoming features of our local shelter magazines reflects the direction we’re headed in: Boston Home showcased “The Hot 50″ next-generation designers in their most recent issue, and New England Home recently awarded their “5 Under 40″ winners.

The financial strength of those magazines — in a segment of the industry that’s been hit rather hard over the last year or so — speaks to the interest in Design around Boston and across New England.

Efforts by non-design specific groups — like Boston World Partnerships and T5Boston — will have a corollary benefit on the design industry: As new businesses move to Boston, or more conventions brought, there will be a corresponding boom in construction for additional office space, convention centers, hotels and more. This can help Boston shake off the “stodgy” image we’ve had for too long.

In (not so) short, I love design, and I love this city, and I look forward to Boston becoming as great as I know it can be.
