On Monday, September 14th, 2009, First Mondays continued with our Keynote address by Nick Luzietti, design principal of VOA, Chicago. During this unforgettable lecture, our design community was truly inspired and entertained by Luzietti's thought provoking presentation. Luzietti began with a visual story of people and music he is inspired by and his top ten heroes who have helped shape the designer he is today.

Nick engaged the audience with his humor, creativity and contagious passion for design. He truly thinks outside the box and believes that the best design is achieved through the use of sketches and creating models so that you can experience the three dimensional space and play with light and shadows, forms and colors. He also believes that we need to embrace those who have mentored us and inspired us and to never give up. He also emphasized the importance of sketching daily and how that has helped him to expand his mind and therefore create better projects. Luziettis program received rave reviews from the attendees, so much so, that we hope to have Luzietti return in 2010 for another inspirational and engaging evening.
