We just got back from the kick off party for Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution in New York City and we had a blast. Got to know our collaborators on the Food Revolution project and of course meet Jamie Oliver. This is a great project for a great cause and we’re excited to be redesigning Jamie Oliver’s web site and be helping with the strategy behind the movement.

Jamie Oliver’s wish is to build a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and to empower people everywhere to fight obesity. We aim to design a site that inspires it’s users, brings out the activists in them and helps them start their own revolution.

Jamie was also on the cover of this month’s 944 magazine. We’re excited to see the revolution take off. See pictures of the party below.
