Who are some of your favorite designers or artists?Alexander McQueen, Tom Ford, Santiago Calatrava, ZahaHadid, Kilian Hennessy, Georg Jensen, Fanourakis, H Sternand many more.

Do you have a favorite among all the projects you’veworked on?Some of the projects that stand out would be Chick-Fil-A,

True Inspiration Award and NFLPA Collegiate bowl 2015 for their creative process, YouTube Diamond award for itstechnical and production process. Lalique + Patron as well as DonQ stand out for [their] technical aspects blended withthe creative design, plus the growth they provided me as a designer. What also stands out is seeing the whole process,from design to production to budget—just seeing the whole team work at it is awesome.
