Our in-house Creative Myc Daz speaks on the "epidemic of loneliness" and how his time at Camp Sunrise sparked a passion for building human-centered communities. "Amid the chaos of modern life, it's more important than ever to design spaces that foster connection, joy, and a deep sense of belonging—because the blueprint for a better world already exists."

Last year, NEOO completed a feasibility study (Pre-planning, Design, and Visioning) for the Margaret Walker Center at Jackson State. This project holds a special place in our hearts because Jackson State is an integral part of NEOO’s origin story. It was the training ground and alma mater for four members of the NEOO family: Co-founder and CEO D’Angelos Svenkeson, Senior Economic Advisor Christina Berry, Senior Urban Design Advisor Marlin King Jr., and our newest addition, Market Director for Planning and Research Alysia Osborne, AICP. The center will serve as an archive, museum, and event space honoring the life and legacy of poet, educator, and activist Margaret Walker. This project wouldn’t have been possible without the leadership of Dr. Robert E. Luckett, director of the Margaret Walker Center, the input, insight, and energy of JSU stakeholders, and continued support from the Mellon Foundation. NEOO partners developed the design concept for the building in collaboration with Architect Vernell Barnes.
