That was an amazing event. He started with history, continued with facts, customers relations and examples of his work.
Such an inspirational person.
I'm glad that I attended the GAUAGE speaker speech at CSULA this Monday. I enjoyed Mr. Garaza's story telling way of interpretation. Off course, I admire his creativity on his work, and that Xanadu is really a total make over.
I was very motivated with Mr. Garza's presentation and three words come to my mind when I remember his speech; passion, research and risk.
Thank you AIGA!
