Back at it.

At M80, we try within our busy schedules to give back to the design community as much as we can.  Zack teaches an automotive design class at his alma mater, Cleveland Institute of Art, where he is able to stay involved with industrial design's future generations.  He has a ton of passion for his craft and we're proud of him for not hording his talents and instead passing them on to young designers.  He says it helps him learn too.

So this year, Zack was given the opportunity to be the keynote speaker for CIA's annual Automotive Design Symposium at the Cleveland Auto Show (I-X Center).  The crowd was a mixed group of about 175 high school students and art students from the Greater Cleveland area.  If you know Zack, he's a quiet guy and is no good at public speaking....we have no idea how he pulled this one off.  Just kidding.  It apparently paid off.
