If you’re lucky enough, you’ve had a mentor or guru or role model worthy of being a source of inspiration for life. I’m lucky enough and that person is my older sister, Deborah, who with her husband Rudy, have had respective flourishing careers as a graphic designer and architect since the 1970’s.

Having met at WED (later WDI), the “Imagineering” design division of Disney, they helped craft the vision at Walt Disney World’s EPCOT Center and then pulled three multi-year stints as an executive design team overseeing the day-to-day creative operations at Tokyo Disneyland, helping to craft that park and the expansion companion DisneySea effort. Post-Disney, they are now continuing to thrive in their own practice, reshaping the global brand for clients like the Tokyo-based restaurant chain Yoshinoya.
