"As a colleague and friend of Brian's, I got to experience first-hand, the knowledge and expertise that he brings to the table. During the time we spent in the Architectural Program at The Ohio State University, Brian and I collaborated on many projects, and even shared with each other our thoughts and insights on individual works. My experiences with Brian were always filled with positive outcomes, and more often than not, produced results that could not have been achieved without his input. In collaborative situations, he provides that perfect balance of constructive criticism and compromise that makes problems turn into solutions." - Joseph Hong, designer, WD Partners - March 2006 (prior to signing with pickard-design in January 2007)
