Helicopters integrative approach to design and business expanded its reach to include systems, strategy and interactive platforms for companies ranging from top New York art galleries to global media giants.Helicopters work has been honored by AIGA, I.D. Magazine, Print Magazine, Grafik Magazine and the Art Directors Club.
