Meet Angela - Our Awesome Fall Intern

Hi I’m Angela. I’m from Taiwan (like actually) and moved to Boston four years ago for college. I major in Architecture and Urban Studies and Planning in MIT, and am currently a super senior wrapping up my thesis.

Career-wise I’d love to work with urban design, planning, and community engagement. Outside of school I dance and choreograph a lot. I don’t read many books, but I read Haruki Murakami so much that I can memorize them!

As a digital media and communication intern, my goal is to make ONEin3, an awesome platform for the ONEin3ers, known by as many people in the city of Boston as possible.

In addition, I’ll be writing blogs and putting together everything you want to know of Boston! Let us know if you have any fun things you want to share and we might feature you on our twitter/facebook/blog!

28 year-old Jamaica Plainer Ross Lohr is fueling the Massachusetts economy one awesome t-shirt quilt blanket at a time.

 

“Boston is the greatest City in the world, with a rich history and a talented core of young individuals.” – Ross Lohr, Founder of Project Repat 

 

 

 

Take all your memorable tees and send them to Project Repat and, voila, you have a beautiful t-shirt quilt blanket.  Even better, Project Repat quilts are made in Fall River and Lawrence by production partners who pay their workers a fair and living wage. Ross and business partner, Nathan Rothstein, demonstrate that you can create a financially successful business but do so in a way that is environmentally and socially responsible.  It’s about paying people well for the work they do, and making products out of recycled materials rather than creating something new.

innoPOP! at the Innovation and Art Event

Innovation is everywhere. Not only can technology be innovative, art and music can be too.  The Innovation and Economic Development team at ONEin3 wanted to show this with innoPOP! series, pop-ups which show that innovation is in every area of Boston and in every industry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first pop-up will be taking place this Wednesday at Me, You and the I.D.’s second event, Innovation and Art. Bostonians will come together at the space at Neoscape to meet and mingle with Innovative local Boston companies, including Artaic (a mosaic tile design company), Artists for Humanity (a non-profit which trains youth in art and design careers), The Duplessy Foundation (an organization that mentors local artists while revitalizing Boston’s least developed neighborhoods), Project Repat (a company which upcycles your t-shirts into an awesome blanket), and Turning Art (an artwork membership program).

Performing at the event will be Boston based guitarist, Shun Ng.   Shun performs often with Quincy Jones, who says about him, “When you see Shun Ng, you won’t believe your eyes nor your ears — he belies all stereotypes, all premonitions. I was simply blown away by both his soul and his science — his creativity and his uniqueness is astounding.”

This is a free event and is part of Idea Week.
