On Saturday evening, March 8, our company co-founder was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the local Spokane chapter of the American Advertising Federation. It was my pleasure to present this award—only the sixth time in the chapter’s history—while over 400 attendees expressed their gratitude. John began his career here in Spokane in 1970 and is now semi-retired from what was then known as Anderson Mraz Design. (I say “semi-retired” because, to this day, John continues to play an important role as “tinkerer, doodler, designer”—the title on his business cards—on our 3D projects.)
Congratulations to John, a true pioneer in the field of graphic design and an inspiration to many here in Spokane. Including me.
