Colleagues describe him as "I hired Zac as a consultant for my furniture business ventures in NYC, in particular my Bizmuth collection. I was impressed by Zac’s ability to communicate and by his genuine curiosity. He asks incisive questions and brings terrific perspective and hard-earned knowledge about furniture and interior design, and, importantly, he considers the customer’s experience every step of the way. His affable, non-judgmental, practical, and enthusiastic attitude throughout the creative process made working with him a pleasure. After our preliminary discussion about my ambitions with Bizmuth and more broadly, he returned in earnest with a consulting plan and scope of work, foretelling what I could expect, which included semi-annual check-ins about the consulting itself. I appreciated his understanding of the value for feedback. He delivered tangible value throughout our work together. From listening and advising on furniture design choices, to customer considerations and end-user experience; from going to market in retail or through design shows in NYC, to connections to fabricators; from working with fabricators to anticipating the needs of interior design teams and how to set ourselves apart; through all of this, all the way down to professional aspects like invoicing, punctuality, and coordination around scheduling our consulting sessions, working with Zac was an great, easeful, and exciting experience, well worth the fee and time. The insights he shared, drawing upon his years of experience and good design eye, gave me both valuable perspective and pragmatic takeaways on a weekly basis as I pursued and grew Bizmuth and my broader furniture ambitions. Many thanks, Zac!", "Some designers are gifted in creative design. A few can communicate really well. Zac is one of those rare designers who does both. He can teach. He can lead. For my team, it meant that Zac was uniquely qualified to work with teams where the need was to quickly get them to understand the problem, work collaboratively on solutions, and to articulate their ideas.", and "As Engineering Manager for Custom Products within Teknion I have had the pleasure of working with Zac for the past 4 years. Working closely together to help develop custom product for clients, Zac has also been instrumental in helping to guide internal processes to help bridge the gap between client design intent/industrial design and engineering/manufacturing. This input and development over the years has led to a more streamlined and cohesive process helping all parties work, communicate and design more efficiently. As part of our Major Pursuits Team Zac worked tirelessly to advocate for our clients and be the link to their vision, design and philosophy. His attention to detail, firm belief in design principles and overall ability to ideate quickly and effectively helped to provide the best solution for our clients on each project. Being in the unique position of working on custom project-based solutions within the scope of a larger company often requires the ability to go above and beyond normal duties. Zac always takes this in stride, not only being part of the concept development but following through from napkin sketch to installation. His ability to fully serve his concepts to drive forward a solution is augmented by his knowledge base of manufacturing process, supplier capability as well as internal limitations allowed Zac to take part in engineering meetings with valuable input and meaningful discussion. Overall Zac has been an important and valuable member of our team helping to drive our ability to create, offer and support custom solutions for our clients. Helping to guide and push our capabilities has not only helped our business but also helped to make our design team stronger for future projects."
