Design Lecture: Alvaro Dominguez
Civic Square Building 33 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ, United StatesAlvaro Dominguez is an emotion, a feeling, a movement, your friend and your enemy's friend, your sister's husband, that person who can't eat anything remotely spicy, and the culprit of the extinction of the dinosaurs. He's the co-founder of the band Scared of Bunnies, with seven albums on Spotify! Seven! And zero Grammys. He is a contributing art director at The New York Times, holds a Red Cross first aid certificate, and is a green belt in taekwondo. He did a Time Magazine cover, and his father reacted by saying, "So what? Nobody knows that magazine." He has honed his improv skills at Magnet Theater, UCB, and Brooklyn Comedy Collective. Plus, he's read more than seventeen books in his lifetime.
