Studio Lin, NYC. Portfolio Visit

Whilst in New York, attended another portfolio visit.
this once Michele had organised and i came along to it as she did with my previous one.
We went to visit Alex Lin, at his company called Studio Lin.
We had a bit of a nightmare on the way to the studio as we had ended up on 64th street instead of 4th street number 60!! so we had to jump in a taxi and travel 60 blocks to find the right road, luckily we had left enough time to spare in case this had happened. When we had finally found the right road and building, we started walking up the stairs, we were a bit confused as the stairs were very scruffy and there were posters up everywhere advertising dance lessons and we thought there may have been a dance studio somewhere on one of the floors.

We got to the top floor and noticed a sign next to the door saying Studio Lin. We realised that we were infact in the right place and knocked on the door. Alex answered and invited us in, when entering the room it was very small indeed with only Alex and another design working in there.
It looked almost like an arts and crafts room, with lots of stuff hanging from the ceiling and boxes full of bits an bobs.

He was really nice and welcoming and asked us what we had been doing in NY and if we were enjoying it so far, we explained we had only been here one day so far but had enjoyed it up to then. He also asked us what projects were working on in uni and how we generally tackle briefs and come up with our solutions. We explained how we start a brief and come to our final solutions and then went onto show our work.
Michele went 1st this time as she had organised the visit through emails. Alex was very pleased with her work and suggested a few tips to improve the standard of work. I then went on to show my work, Alex's comments were generally the same sort of comments that Erin had said earlier on in the day at my 1st visit; to maybe photograph my work, improve the quality before printing out and increase the sizes on certain images e.g my typeface twigs. Again i was very pleased with the feedback he gave me and was happy that he enjoyed my work and was happy to help me.

After showing our portfolio's, he took us around the room that he worked in and explained some of the current and existing projects he had been working on. I was surprised at some of the work, concidering when we 1st walked in it felt like a kids arts n crafts room.

I then left alex with one of my little booklets i made and we said our goodbyes and left.
