“Design Genius straight outta Possum Trot.”
Design genius knows no geographical boundaries. Proof positive, Stanley Hainsworth, Tether CCO and eternal child of Dixie. It was in the nether-woods of Kentucky where this curious young’un first ingested the divine symmetry of a crawdad’s claws and marveled at the figure ground reversal of an Appalachian skyline. Wordsworth proclaimed, “The child is father of the man.” This insightful man-child has grown up with a gift for helping us all perceive the conceptual purity that dwells at the heart of great design.
