The AIGA Fellow Award is the highest honor an AIGA chapter may bestow upon one of its members. With it, we honor senior-level members who have made a significant contribution to raising the standards of excellence in practice and conduct within their local or regional design community. The areas of education, writing, leadership, and reputation, as well as the practice of design, have equal consideration in measuring significant contribution.

In 2006 Willie sold the company — but not before being featured in Communication Arts, Graphis, AIGA, New York Art Directors, The One Show, Print Casebooks, Annual Report Trends, The Type Directors Club and Annual Report Design: A Historical Retrospective 1510-1990, organized by the Cooper-Hewitt National Museum of Design.

He is currently a member of the art collectives “In Cooperation With Muscle Nation” and “CircleWerk.” He has taught advertising design at Brookhaven Community College, Texas A&M at Commerce, TCU, and has served as visiting faculty for the MA Program at Syracuse University. Willie is currently a visiting Executive-in-Residence at SMU’s Temerlin Advertising Institute where he teaches a classes related to creativity and portfolio.
