He will be missed. Big, big shoes to fill.
His a size 13?
Its not easy to run a creative department full of amateurs and students but Ali has done quite a fantastic job of it. My guess is he will land someplace that really respects what he has to offer.
Good Luck, Ali
I really enjoyed my time working with him a few years ago. He’s a smart chap. Good luck Ali.
