I've got an IDEA...

BusinessWeek and IDSA just revealed the 2009 winners of their jointly-held International Design Excellence Awards (aka: IDEA Awards) with the exciting result that one of my designs was selected for an award! I received a Bronze Award for my ecoDeck Sustainable Skimboard in the Student category. As an additional compliment, my project is also featured on the article's cover page as the product to represent the whole body of student winners. The announcement will also be published in the latest hardcopy issue of BusinessWeek magazine. Also of note is a Silver Award given to a design by a fellow Art Center student and personal friend of mine, Juan-David Quiñones. Well-deserved congratulations to him as well. Thank you to everyone who supported and facilitated!
