Reba Sochisapprentice to Reba Sochis
Jan. 1984 - Dec. 1984Reba Sochis was a pioneering woman in the field of advertising, most famously mentoring ad bigwig George Lois. A tough old bird who smoked unfiltered Lucky Strikes and had hard liquor with lunch, I worked in her studio for a few months in 1995. What I remember most was her use of the word "feinschmecker" as well as her obsession with detail and cleanliness. She was strict, and I learned a lot.

Jan. 1983 - Dec. 1983This amazing woman was one of my earliest teachers/mentors/friends in the world of design, and her spirit will always be with me. She took me under her wing, found me my first job, and has been a total inspiration always. A vibrant and charming pioneer, she finally got her due recognition by becoming the first woman in the Art Directors Club Hall of Fame. I love her.
