The assignment: decorate a New York City restaurant for a joint Aetna/Humana board dinner… where no one was allowed to talk about business. No pressure, right? I brought both creative teams together—despite the fact we’d never even been in the same room—and we hustled through a very tight timeline to build conversation-starting visuals inspired by each company’s history. It was intense, collaborative, and honestly a little chaotic, but the final banners looked unified and made everyone proud.
