Neil Donnelly Studio works in graphic design across media with clients in art, architecture, publishing, and public service. We have a particular interest in designing flexible structures and systems that grow out of conceptual thinking and encourage deep engagement with content. We aim to surprise and delight readers, users, and visitors through careful consideration of materials, typography, and interactions. Our clients include cultural and educational institutions such as the Guggenheim, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, Petzel Gallery, Columbia University, and Harvard University, publishers such as Phaidon, Verso Books, and The New York Times, and organizations including the NYC Department of Transportation and the Center for Urban Pedagogy. Our work has been included in the Brno Biennial of Graphic Design and exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Gwangju Design Biennale, the New Museum, and the Museum of Arts and Design. Neil has lectured, taught courses, and led workshops at the Yale School of Art, Harvard Graduate School of Design, Parsons, Maryland Institute College of Art, School of Visual Arts, Rutgers, the University of Illinois, and Typography Summer School. Neil holds a BS in engineering from Carnegie Mellon and an MFA in graphic design from Yale.

Parsons Communication Design Lecture Series: Modes of Practice
Spring 2019

Co-organized by the three Communication Design degree programs at Parsons, Modes of Practice invites designers with a unique perspective in their practice; not only to learn from their work but also from the way how they work. What drives their work and how do they sustain interest? What are the various forces that shape their projects? How do they manage conflicting interests in collaborations? Parsons Communication Design Lecture Series is supported by the School of Art Media and Technology at Parsons and hosted at the Design Lab.
