ABOUT THE JUDGES
STEVE FRYKHOLM
After teaching in Nigeria with the U.S. Peace Corps, Steve attended and graduated from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Furniture icon Herman Miller, Inc. then hired him to be its first internal graphic designer. For 38 years, he has been largely responsible for Herman Miller’s image and graphic identity-its posters, annual reports, and other collateral literature.
Not only has Steve received Herman Miller’s highest recognition for an employee, The Carl F. Frost Award, but he has also received recognition from professional peers. His work has been published and exhibited, and he’s received Gold and Silver medals, Triad awards, and Certificates of Excellence from AIGA, N.Y.

Steve was also honored as the recipient of the AIGA Fellow Award in 2006.

Steve is currently the first and only designer from the state of Michigan to receive this esteemed designation. www.hermanmiller.com
MARK HEGGIE
The vessel known as Mark Heggie manifested in 1973. Attempts at education, in a series of overcrowded learning institutions of questionable architecture and validity, proved futile and lead only to the development of the socially adroit, yet misanthropic man of today. He is an award winning painter and illustrator, as well as a nationally renowned tattoo 
artist. Mark resides in his Warren, MI studio with a few spiders and a small set of amusing personal demons. www.markheggie.com
