The Hyland Award

We were honored with stewardship of the HYLAND award from our honorary chairman, Christopher Hyland, who presented the award at our inaugural 2024 Newport Design Week to the ever-talented Mitch Owens.

“The HYLAND awards began as an ardent belief that individuals, organizations, and firms should be recognized for excellence achieved across a diverse array of design styles, products, and services,” said Hyland. “To that end, the HYLAND awards for design are themselves impressive objects of inspired design.
