It’s once again that time of year when students and employers alike begin preparing for the shift that comes with the end of the spring semester; students frantically finish their portfolios and dust off their blazers while firms evaluate their need for new talent and prepare to host interviews. NDC is following suit. Last month at the annual Knowlton School of Architecture career fair, many employers set up displays and welcomed students as they made rounds, discussing the w

Student Experience. Collaboration. Communities. Equitable Design. If you know the NDC, you know these are essential aspects of how we have served the Columbus and Central Ohio region over the last 37 years – and evident in our collaboration with Ohio State University’s Nonprofit Immersion Program (NPIP), a partnership now entering its second year. Nonprofit Immersion Program Interns, Akane Ohara (L) and Jenna Paskey (R) NPIP matches OSU undergraduate students with local nonpr

If you stop by the NDC, you’ll probably notice a few new faces around the office. NDC is always fortunate and delighted to have such talented students on our team since their talent, perspective and enthusiasm are truly the engine moving our mission forward. Please help us in welcoming our new (and continuing) interns and stay tuned for more office happenings!

Spring has sprung, signifying a change in the season and a time of change for the NDC. Every year, NDC uses this time of year to look for fresh talent by attending the Knowlton School of Architecture Career Fair. This annual event gives us a great opportunity to meet prospective interns and share more about who we are and what we do. We are fortunate to have current student interns present during the event, giving interested students a chance to hear firsthand about the NDC i

As the saying goes, “out with the old, in with the new!” This May, NDC welcomed three new interns to our team.  These three Ohio State students join our full time staff and our two returning interns (so, not “out with the old” altogether…)  Student interns give the office and our projects new energy and perspective, and we look forward to seeing what our team will accomplish in the coming year.  Meet our new interns below!

The end of the academic year is always a little bittersweet with our senior interns graduating and moving on to new adventures. These weeks of May have been full of affectionate goodbyes and more than a few tears. We’re going to miss our interns but we’re excited to see what the future holds for them – and they have some exciting plans! Adeeba Arastu will be in Chicago working on the Ragdale Ring Competition installation with Galo Canizares and a team of OSU students this sum

It’s always exciting to see what multidisciplinary teamwork can do – NDC recently worked on a project in collaboration with OSU College of Medicine and All People’s Fresh Markets in order to tackle the important issue of lack of healthy food options in low income neighborhoods. Students at the College of Medicine put together healthy and affordable recipes and easy-to-use signage for these neighborhood residents. NDC developed the graphics and signage to make the initiative t

Although an old cliche, teamwork (does indeed) make the dream work. Historically speaking,  the majority of the NDC team has consisted of student interns from varying design and design-related fields. Employing student interns aligns with the mission of the NDC, by inserting young minds into the process of creative solutions, exposing students to real world constraints and empowering clients to consider alternative ideas. Currently, the NDC employs five students from varying
