These are a few of the amazing designs seen in and around the Anaheim Marriott Hotel where the annual AIFD Symposium was held this year. I was not able to attend the design shows because I was "in hiding" for a day and a half as a surprise guest for René van Rems who received the Award of Design Influence. Some of the finished designs that I did get to see were in a separate room but not labeled so I don't know what program they were from and who the designers were.
