BBH NY has named David Trumpf as its head of design. Reporting to chief creative officer Gerard Caputo, Trumpf will be charged with enhancing creative output by incorporating design discipline into projects across the agency, including work for clients Grubhub, Amex and FanDuel.
Trumpf has nearly 20 years of experience as a designer on both digital and print projects. During his seven years at R/GA he worked with brands including Nike, Unilever, Verizon, Pepsi, The Ad Council and L’Oréal. In addition, Trumpf worked as an independent creative for various brands including The Gap, Major League Baseball and Coca-Cola.
“Design should be part of any organization that wants to be known for creative excellence and design is imperative to the creatively driven agenda of BBH. It’s more than just making stuff look good – design is key to modern creativity. It’s how we bring our ideas to life and make them land with relevance in the world on any platform. It’s craft and caring about the details. At its best design is conceptual and strategic,” said Caputo. “David will help position BBH as one of the best in the industry in this space.”
Trumpf said, “The role of design is constantly evolving to meet rapidly-changing user expectations and many agencies struggle to adapt to this environment. When I first met the team at BBH I knew this was the right place to launch fresh ideas and adopt different ways of thinking.”
Trumpf’s work has been exhibited at the Museum of Design of Atlanta (MODA) and The Museum of Arts and Design of New York (MAD) as part of the collective “We-Are-Familia.” He is also the co-founder and current creative director of design publication Chalet Magazine, which explores cities from the perspective of a bicycle.
After 20 Years of Acting, Megan Park Finds Her Groove In The Director’s Chair On “My Old Ass”
Megan Park feels a little bad that her movie is making so many people cry. It's not just a single tear either — more like full body sobs.
She didn't set out to make a tearjerker with "My Old Ass," now streaming on Prime Video. She just wanted to tell a story about a young woman in conversation with her older self. The film is quite funny (the dialogue between 18-year-old and almost 40-year-old Elliott happens because of a mushroom trip that includes a Justin Bieber cover), but it packs an emotional punch, too.
Writing, Park said, is often her way of working through things. When she put pen to paper on "My Old Ass," she was a new mom and staying in her childhood bedroom during the pandemic. One night, she and her whole nuclear family slept under the same roof. She didn't know it then, but it would be the last time, and she started wondering what it would be like to have known that.
In the film, older Elliott ( Aubrey Plaza ) advises younger Elliott ( Maisy Stella ) to not be so eager to leave her provincial town, her younger brothers and her parents and to slow down and appreciate things as they are. She also tells her to stay away from a guy named Chad who she meets the next day and discovers that, unfortunately, he's quite cute.
At 38, Park is just getting started as a filmmaker. Her first, "The Fallout," in which Jenna Ortega plays a teen in the aftermath of a school shooting, had one of those pandemic releases that didn't even feel real. But it did get the attention of Margot Robbie 's production company LuckyChap Entertainment, who reached out to Park to see what other ideas she had brewing.
"They were very instrumental in encouraging me to go with it," Park said. "They're just really even-keeled, good people, which makes... Read More
