Absolutely brilliant branding, best since Obama, perhaps even better. The striking colors, the nostalgic fonts, everything about this design was bold and beautiful.
My agency ( https://t.co/K4gQG01iGX) did the design for Zohran’s campaign. While I wish I played a part, it was all the masterful work of my partners, Aneesh and Phil. Having worked with these 2 for close to a decade, it’s no surprise they created what many consider (the most?)

Momo, chicken chilly, aloo sandeko and chiya. This man is an honorary Nepali.
A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow. But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @AOC at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

When youth across Kathmandu and Nepal’s major cities rose against corruption this September, it felt like a long-awaited reckoning. But what does this uprising mean for those beyond the ring road, in rural Nepal’s hills and plains? Read here: https://t.co/HwaizJMEZO

In this week's @WeeklyKalam , an important reminder from Dr Ramu Kharel. He writes from Gulmi about the need to ensure that the changes promised by the largely urban Gen Z movement must also reach the villages and fields of rural Nepal.
