Alumni Eat Lunch

Alumni Eat Lunch

Date

By Nigel Sielegar

From time to time, usually when our out-of-town alumni come to New York, we arrange meetings to introduce and reintroduce our grads to one-another. Last week when Celina Carvalho came from Brazil, former classmates Laura Gunther and Lala Wood joined Esther, Lita and Steve for some fine Italian food. There's nothing like eating pasta and recalling the days when the only care in the world was getting the thesis perfect.

Where are they now:
-Celina runs her own design studio on Sao Paolo.
-Laura is a designer at ESI Design.
-Lala produces spots for We, AMC, and Sundance Channels.
