With the First Annual Legamo Challenge

PHOENIX, ARIZ. - DFD and Studio eSP celebrated the addition of new staff by hosting the first annual DFD Legamo Challenge held on July 28 at the Camelback Esplanade complex in Phoenix. Competing for the highly-coveted, custom designed �i won� tee shirts, each team was challenged to create an interactive architectural masterpiece using 500 Legos, 150 dominoes and an assortment of randomly selected obstacles. Teams were judged on the spectacular effect of their domino runs and the creative nature of their interaction with the Lego structures and obstacles. Each team introduced a recent �new hire� to the DFD staff and presented a team cheer. Recent additions to the DFD corporate family include:

Jill Baker, a 2003 graduate of Iowa State University joins Studio eSP as a space planner. Recently relocated to the Valley from Nebraska, Baker brings several years of interior design and merchandizing experience.
