On most every day, I’m presented with new challenges, and for the most part, I’m given the freedom I need to address them.
 
What's great about living/working in Cincinnati?
Cincinnati is rich in the arts, and always has been. Of recent, I’ve seen that heritage emerges in so many unique ways from boutique design collaboratives to vegan general stores to street art expeditions. It’s an exciting time to experience our city.  Specifically, I feel a real sense of community downtown. It’s no longer a place to fill your work day. It lives and breathes in the most inspiring ways, all of its days and nights.
 
What part of town do you live in and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live?
I live in Price Hill. It has a lot of heart. I really enjoy the dynamic of its people. Oh, and Price Hill baseball is on the rise again. It’s just one of many intiatives that are in action to make it grow into a stronger community.

I think the best part of my job is the staff—my coworkers are so wonderful and fun, it makes it easy to come to work every day.

It’s been really cool to see the transformation over the past few years. I feel like I went away to college and came home to a new city!
 
What part of town do you live in and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live?
I live in Mt. Lookout, and the best thing about my neighborhood is that there is so much to do. I can walk to the square, I can walk to Hyde Park, and when it’s nice out and I’m feeling ambitious, I can walk to Oakley in about 20 minutes. I can also easily take the bus to work, which makes the commute a lot less stressful.

What do you do in your new position?
I am responsible for communications and fundraising—social media, media relations, donor stewardship, and letting people know about the great things coming out of Price Hill and Price Hill Will.
 
What do you like best about this job?
I love that it lets me combine two of my skill sets and interests—writing and raising funds for a cause I believe in. Plus Price Hill has such a wide variety of interesting places, parks, architecture and people, and Price Hill Will is making a big difference in this neighborhood, which makes my job easy.
 
What's great about living/working in Cincinnati?
Cincinnati is a great town for so many reasons! The art scene is really diverse, and far more affordable than in a lot of cities. The amount of green space is tremendous. The people are friendly. And it’s small enough that you can get almost any place in half an hour (unless you need to take I-75 or I-71 at rush hour).
 
What part of town do you live in and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live? 
I live in West Chester. I like the fact that I can hop on the highway and be downtown, Northside, Mt. Lookout or pretty much anywhere in the city in half an hour. I play in the West Chester Symphony, which is a lot of fun. And we have the very best coffee house in the city—Book Bums!

What do you do in your new position?
My job encompasses three main roles:

1) Marketing—Writing our English Traditions blog; keeping our Facebook, Twitter, Houzz and Pinterest pages updated; sending emails to notify customers of upcoming events; and developing new ways to connect to our current and future customers.  

2) Design—helping our customers choose a piece of furniture to work in an existing room or helping them to design an entire room—or entire house—from antiques and upholstery to rugs, artwork or pillows.

3) Sales—selling all of our fabulous furniture, art and accessories to our fabulous customers.

What do you like best about this job?
I love being surrounded by the gorgeous antiques and upholstery in English Traditions. I have been a customer and fan of the store for many years, and it is truly a pleasure to work here. The customers are great to work with—it is fun to help them choose a gorgeous antique or design an entire room that they will live in and love. Design is really my passion, and to get paid to pursue your passion is a delight. I really enjoy working with Casey Cordill, the co-owner and store manager. He has great vision and impeccable taste, and is teaching me so much about interior design. He is very visual and I am a strong writer, so we make an excellent team. Also, we are both very inspired by beautiful furnishings and have a strong design aesthetic. We get very excited about the latest Thibaut sample book or an amazing antique French table that just arrived. 
 
What's great about living/working in Cincinnati? 
Cincinnati is, in my opinion, one of the best cities in the country to raise a family. It is beautiful, historical, affordable and diverse. Traffic is light (honestly, compared with most cities); we have professional sports teams, amazing opera, theater and symphony; many great public schools (Kilgour, Walnut Hills, Hyde Park School, SCPA, etc.); diversity of race, religion and ethnicity; unbelievably beautiful city and county parks; gorgeous historic homes and buildings; an amazing library system; and great local universities. The renaissance of downtown and the development of the riverfront is so exciting and is making Cincinnati even greater. I feel that people place a high priority on family life and quality of life. I love Cincinnati so much that I even convinced my cousin to move here last year from Buffalo. She loves it here now as much as I do. I really consider Cincinnati my "hometown."

What part of town do you live in and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live? 
I live with my husband of 15 years and our three young boys right in the middle of Hyde Park. Not a native Cincinnatian, I moved to Cincinnati when I graduated from college in 1997 and have lived in four different homes within a mile of where we live now. I absolutely adore the Hyde Park/Mt. Lookout/Oakley area, and feel it has the charm and beautiful old homes of a small town while still having the conveniences of only being five minutes from wonderful downtown. Plus, I am fortunate to be able to send all three of our boys to excellent public schools—my oldest to the Gifted Academy at Hyde Park School and our two younger ones to Kilgour Elementary. Both schools are just a half mile from our house. The pedestrian lifestyle of Hyde Park is so fabulous—we can walk to church, the library, school, the park, the grocery, the dentist, shopping—it is truly a wonderful place to live.

What do you do in your new position?
I am responsible for guiding and enabling a team of diverse designers who offer complementary skills and thinking across all aspects of brand innovation, design and implementation. I began my career doing front-end work—from research to new product visualization—in consulting environments. For the last three years I have been working on the entrepreneurial side of design, focusing on supporting local product startups. I am hoping my background will further strengthen Hyperquake’s strategic abilities to push boundaries in physical brand experiences and spaces, front-end innovation and holistic brand design.

What do you like best about this job?
I am excited to be part of Hyperquake because I am constantly seeing really interesting brand work coming from them, like the Old Spice and Manifestation loft spaces that popped up just blocks from where I live. I like dealing with brands that know they want considerate thought and strategy on how they are looking to grow. I’ve always been interested in how different types of design influence each other, so I’m really happy to have the chance to lead a team of diverse designers that offer great complementary skills and thinking across all the aspects of designing and implementing a brand. I think our team is really well-poised to be pushing new boundaries in physical brand experiences or spaces, front-end innovation and holistic brand design.
 
What part of town do you live in and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live? 
I live in Over-The-Rhrine with my wife and baby daughter and enjoy the livability of Cincinnati paired with the walkability and vibrancy of urban living, with only the occasional parking ticket. I’m fairly involved in the local community and like knowing and supporting the folks that run small businesses in the area. My typical Saturday morning ritual involves a bearclaw from Shadeau, a cortado from Collective Espresso and then walking to Findlay Market with the family to see what is in season with local farmers, usually running into neighbors and friends to chat with along the way.

I live in Independence, KY. Independence is in the “heart” of Kenton County. With my grandfather graduating from the first class of the local high school, my roots run deep in this community. Although the city has experienced tremendous growth over the years, it has been able to maintain its tight community, Mayberry-like charm. The city is rich with community traditions, activities and events that result in a great place to raise my two daughters.

What do you do in your position?
Typically, my job is to manage day-to-day office needs as well as design work when needed. However, my main focus at the moment is planning our QCMerge event coming up May 9 and 10 at the Contemporary Arts Center. It's two days of great speakers, workshops and food. Plus two nights of camaraderie and fun!

What do you do in your new position?
I assist the rest of our Development staff in several areas, including research, donor relations, individual giving and membership. On any given day, you can find me giving a tour to a donor, preparing for an opening, typing away in our giving database or organizing projects for the interns. There’s no “typical day” here! I’ve also been a docent at the Contemporary Arts Center for a little over a year, which has proven to be an asset in this position.

What do you like best about this job?
It’s difficult for me to choose just one thing, but I absolutely love the people I work with. The staff here at the CAC are interesting, brilliant and down-to-earth folks who have been very helpful in helping me settle into my position. I consider many of them friends first and co-workers second. It’s also a privilege to call this gorgeous building—Zaha Hadid’s first building in the United States—my home. It’s not your average office!
 
What's great about living/working in Cincinnati?
My former job was as a flight attendant, so I rarely spent time in Cincinnati. Now that I’m back here full time, I have discovered so many sides to the city I never knew existed! Being downtown gives me the experience of bigger city living, yet with the down-to-earth friendliness that’s unique to the Midwest. After traveling the world, I never thought I would find such an exciting experience right here in my own hometown.
 
What part of town do you live in and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live?
I live in the Gateway Quarter of Over-the-Rhine. I enjoy being in walking distance of not only my workplace, but of nearly everything else I need. I typically only have to get in my car once or twice a week. It’s very stress-free! 

What do you do in your position?
As general manager of a busy restaurant, I am considered "all things everything," as my main objective is to hire, train, develop and support my team. My day-to-day tasks change on a whim, depending on the needs of the team, ownership and guests. Our goal at Bakersfield is to provide an environment where people come to enjoy great food and great drinks in an awesome atmosphere with outstanding guest service. We strive to be "catalysts for good times."
 
What do you like most about this job?
I enjoy the teamwork element of my job. My team and I basically get to set up, host and break down a party every evening. There are so many moving parts that have to be managed and maintained every moment of the day.
 
What's great about living/working in Cincinnati?
First, I have to explain that I was living and working in Portland when the whispers of this project came across my desk. Honestly, my first thought was "move back to Cincinnati—are you kidding me?"

I moved in 2008 and had no idea what Over-the-Rhine was becoming. After a few months of entertaining the idea of coming back to visit for the first time in two years, I booked the ticket and found myself waiting to talk to the Lanni brothers at Coffee Emporium downtown.

As I was sitting and waiting for my meeting, I could not help but feel a vibe that was unfamiliar to me. This was not the Cincinnati I left. I don't know how exactly to explain it, other than the energy of the people around me was contagious and it all just felt right and motivating. People were involved with their city and you could see it. They had pride in their city.

There was a movement happening and you could feel it just by sitting in the coffee shop. After talking to the Lanni's about their plans for Bakersfield, we decided to walk down to the space that was formerly a T-shirt shop. Once we turned the corner onto Vine and I saw OTR for the first time, I was in. Senate, A Tavola and Taste of Belgium—I just knew that whatever was going on here, I needed to be part of it!

I love the energy, the people and all of the area restaurants and shops. I love walking down the street to grab a bite and waving to all of our neighbors, and I love that OTR is a community and not just one business.
 
What part of town do you live in and what do you like most about the neighborhood in which you live?
I will proudly tell you Mt. Lookout. As much as I love downtown and OTR, I found myself needing a place to escape. I have a small farmhouse off Linwood, and I can walk to Ault Park.

What do you do in your new position?
I work on the P&G Baby Care, Family Care and Pet Care team. I work with brand contacts and suppliers across the world to help launch marketing promotions, both digital and traditional. I’m specifically in charge of finances for these promotions, but I touch every aspect of the process, from alignment to production and all the way to market entry.

What do you like best about this job?
The best part of my job is my team, and the Pep community as a whole. Pep strives to create an inclusive, ambitious culture, so it’s a pleasure to work and interact with open-minded, ambitious colleagues. It pushes me to be great.

What's great about living/working in Cincinnati? 
Cincinnati is where I was born and raised, but I hadn’t really been in town over the last five or six years. I moved back in town in Jan. 2012, and I was immediately inspired by all the energy and development. People are doing amazing things, from Pep to P&G, to Artworks and so much more. As a young professional, it’s exciting and motivating to live and work in a city that’s growing. I feel proud.

What part of town do you live in and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live? 
I just got an apartment in Over-the-Rhine! I love the ability to walk from store to bar to restaurant.

Cincinnati has a very tight-nit technology community, and it is currently experiencing a lot of growth. There is a lot of opportunity here for those who want to build a career using technology. 

What part of town do you live in and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live? 
I live in Oakley. It is an active community with places within walking distance and it is also close to the highway. Oakley Pub is a great place to sit outside, grab a beer and have a burger.
