Messages from Senior Design Architects at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Although not an official award, speaks volumes to have an inspiring affect on people you come across. That's one crucial skill that a Designer must have...be able to inspire.
James Topping is the Design Director at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt that was in charge of the program I was directly a part of. When he took over the design aspect of the Reading program, I worked hard at quickly on-boarding him with the ins and outs of the project, being his ally in pushing for decisions/vision/strategy that needed to be made and using his own words, "being the glue" for the team of 20 Designers in the Reading program.
