Adam is a creative genius! He has a way of building systems and teams that push the envelope of creative excellence, without bulldozing or expecting teams to sacrifice everything. There's a real humble and strategic approach to how he's able to get world-class creativity out of people, teams, organizations and brands that compel people to action and move them toward mission-minded activity.

Adam is most likely the most gifted and talented Creative that I know. He can take a small vision that you have and easily exceed your expectations. He's gifted in all creative aspects. I will use him for anything I do in the future!

What a pleasure to work for Adam on the design of the Kids II office and showroom in Hong Kong last year. He was able to take on an entirely new challenge of office buildout in another country, because he educated himself in the areas he didn't know and created a support team that he inspired and trusted to deliver this project...this commitment was the equivalent of a second job; and yet he balanced family priorities and maintained a positive attitude throughout the trying project... Oh, and did I mention the project was on time and within budget?

Adam is a creative...an uncommon creative, who possesses as much managerial talent as he does artistic talent. Big ideas. Even bigger implementation. This "particular set of skills" makes him the Liam Neeson of creative directors...His disciplined approach to work and life empowers perseverance in his role and in the most complex projects that fosters growth for his team, adds unquestionable value to his organization, and positions him far beyond the creative director status quo.

Adam was my supervisor, but also a true mentor. Adam led multiple projects and team initiatives that to most would have seemed impossible, but with his focus, determination and ability to multi-task and motivate the team at the same time, we met the deadlines and did an exceptional job! He truly cares about the people that he leads and chooses to inspire rather than to require.

Adam is truly one of the best creative directors I've worked with in 20 years...in my experience, a creative leader can be great at being creative or great at managing other creative managers. Adam is able to do both, very easily. He is incredibly organized, thorough and caring. He owns his projects from top to bottom...He approaches work with a mindset of rollup your sleeves and get it done...I can honestly say, there is nothing he can't do.

Adam has always been one of our favorite people to work with. He is an artist at heart who is always pushing himself and his colleagues to new kinds of creativity and very high standards of quality. At the same time, he also has a keen business sense, and solid practical experience with materials and fabrication. On top of all that, he is just a genuinely nice guy!

After Kids II decided to open its European Headquarters in Amsterdam, Adam was made responsible for choosing the perfect location and the (interior) design of the new office...did an amazing job combining the Kids II business culture with the cultural heritage of the Netherlands...The office turned out beautiful and Adam was a great guy to work with during the process. I would strongly recommend him for any site selection and design project.
