Gene's design philosophy is simple and inspiring: do more with less, protect our natural resources, elevate craft, enrich the human experience and create delight. He is a partner at ZGF Architects, where he puts his philosophy to work developing award-winning design. Gene was honored as a top "40 under 40" business leader by Oregon Business magazine, and was recently named one of Portland's most influential people by Portland Monthly magazine.  

TEDx
Established in 2009, in the spirit of "ideas worth spreading," TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED.com videos, live speakers and performers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. Over 1,400 TEDx events occur annually around the world.
