Hey there, I'm a strong believer in design as a tool for tackling the world's “wicked problems” and I love working on projects that embody form and function to make the world a better place.

    Get to know our Judges

    Part of our approach with this project is to give the judges a chance to express themselves and bring the best out of designers entering the competition.

    Likewise we believe the designers can benefit from knowing a little about the judges and what they're looking for.

    Without giving too much away, we will be creating a more dynamic judges profile that shows personality, professional background and expectations.

    (note to the wise: don't let the smiles fool you, they won't be easy to please)

    Here's a picture of one of our 5 judges: Adam Larson (http://www.adamncompany.com/)
