Q: What is your greatest achievement? A: When I was a student studying the work of the great masters I hoped my work would be studied after I pass. I suppose it's akin to a young gymnast dreaming of going to the Olympics, or a physics major hoping to make a contribution worthy of a Nobel Prize. I was quite surprised and very grati ed when I rst learned that my work is already part of the curriculum in art and design schools across the country. When I updated my web page in the mid 1990's, I learned that more than half of the hits where from . edu (educational) web sites, and more than half of those were from schools in Europe and Asia. I hope that my in uence raises the bar in inspiring creativity in design and excellence of execution for future generations.
