MacDonald Highlands is known for its sweeping mountainside views of Las Vegas and Henderson, but few homes in the guard-gated community take advantage of the elevated topography quite like the residence of Mike and Linda Huhn on Dragon Ridge Drive. Designed and built by Blue Heron, the estate welcomes guests with a twisting driveway that passes between three separate structures that together form a bold and striking desert compound, mixing all the elements desired for a luxury lifestyle.

“You can look up to the hills and see this home, so we wanted something that appeared iconic, and strong from a distance,” says Blue Heron founder Tyler Jones. “We could’ve combined all the spaces into one big structure, but by breaking into three components, you’re surrounded by interesting forms and shapes.”

than a fine art venture. I would rather work with the Cirque performers and invent new concepts and forms.”

MacDonald does acknowledge that marketing and relationships are an important part of his business.

To satisfy demand at the busy “O” Theatre, smaller reproductions of original sculptures are offered for sale, although the initial pieces on which they’re based were never created with commerce in mind.

The balance of art and economics was dramatically different earlier in MacDonald’s career, when he was a painter and commercial illustrator for Fortune 500 companies. He took up bronze sculpting as a hobby, which eventually led to a series of commissions for monumental works. Things changed drastically in 1988 when a fire wiped out his studio and he shifted direction to gallery work. “I went from zero to over 70 galleries worldwide in a matter of a few years,” he says.

MacDonald now creates art on his own terms and lets the money and acclaim follow. He may do a commissioned piece every now and then — perhaps one every 10 years for a major client like the Olympics or the 100th U.S. Open — but he retains full artistic control by contract.

When you commission a work by Richard MacDonald, you’re commissioning his inspiration. “The art has to be purely from the artist’s view of the world,” he explains.

While Las Vegas is still developing its identity as an art community, it continues to be an environment where inspiration and motivation can come at a moment’s notice.

To see it on full display, visit one of Richard MacDonald’s galleries. You’ll be captivated and inspired by the beauty and energy of the human form like never before.

TRUSTIFI In a digital world where it’s more important than ever to protect private information and data, businesses must act responsibly and keep their customers’ best interests in mind. That’s why Luxury Estates International (LEI) is teaming up with Trustifi, a service that can encrypt, track and postmark all electronic communication.

“We value our clients like no one else in real estate,” says LEI Broker/Founder Kamran Zand. “We’re honored to be the very first brokerage to utilize the services of Trustifi.”

The key is offering a user-friendly experience that’s both simple and effective.

Trustifi provides a desktop application that works as a plug-in on a web browser. If anything potentially sensitive is detected on an email message as it’s being written (like a combination of numbers that could represent a social security or credit card account), users will receive an alert recommending an encrypted email. If the option is chosen, the message will be protected with military-grade encryption before the “send” button is even clicked.

To receive the email, the recipient must enter a PIN that’s sent automatically by text to their cell phone from the Trustifi application. As an alternative, a dedicated password can be created that’s given verbally to the recipient with a phone call. This option is good for clients who may be apprehensive about texting or using cellphones. The email is still coming from the sender’s account, like Gmail for example, but it’s being powered by Trustifi technology.

AMANDA HOPE During a time when running around the playground and finishing homework should be among the biggest challenges in life, too many children are forced to cope with the unexpected burden of cancer and other lifechanging diseases.

The volunteers of Amanda Hope Rainbow Angels are doing their part to bring joy and comfort to young patients struggling with endless doctor visits, overnight hospital stays, complicated surgeries and intrusive chemotherapy treatments. The nonprofit was founded

by Lorraine Tallman in honor of her daughter Amanda Hope, who lost a five-year battle to leukemia in 2012.

After establishing its mission in Phoenix, Amanda Hope Rainbow Angels is now serving Las Vegas under the leadership of chapter head Kelley Fertitta.

“It was love at first sight,” says Fertitta of joining the charity. “I knew I wanted to do something with kids, in particular sick kids, because I think it’s so unfair they have to spend their lives in a hospital.”

Fertitta spends much of her time at the Cure 4 The Kids Foundation, which supports the Children’s Specialty Center of Nevada — a treatment facility that will never turn away a young patient based on a family’s inability to pay for services.

“Every child with cancer receiving treatment in the state of Nevada comes through here,” says Fertitta.

“Usually in a day, there’s about 80 kids who come in.”

Amanda Hope volunteers organize craft days in the waiting room, teen nights and special events like

A major initiative is distributing the Comfycozy, a shirt designed by Amanda herself. The garment includes zipper or button openings for chemotherapy ports, allowing children to retain comfort and dignity without having to remove their clothes.

“Every patient gets a backpack with a Comfycozy inside it,” explains Fertitta. “Those are $10 per pack. That’s how much it costs us to buy them. So that’s what we tell our donors — every $10 you spend can buy one backpack.”

Comfycozys are now in more than a hundred hospitals nationwide and will be featured at a fashion show fundraiser for Amanda Hope at the Red Rock Resort on October 27. It’s the second year in a row for the event, reflecting the quick progress made by Kelley Fertitta bowling at the Red Rock Resort. Amanda Hope also

BEHIND THE DESIGN

MICHAEL GARDNER Building a custom home can be a complicated process that involves many different players. Not everyone sees eye-toeye and the priorities of an architect can often conflict with those of an interior designer or a landscaping planner.

However, with studio g ARCHITECTURE, everything operates in perfect synergy.

“We take a holistic approach to design,” says founder Michael Gardner. “The process is property line to property line.”

Everything is done under one umbrella with a team of inhouse professionals and managed consultants. “Our clients only have to worry about working with us,” says Gardner. “We manage all the pieces for them.”

A native Australian, Gardner moved to Northern California when he was 10 years old. The business was in his blood — his mother was a kitchen and bath designer while his uncle was an architect — and he spent five years studying architecture at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. A year abroad in Copenhagen helped shape his vision for what was possible in the field.

Upon graduation, Gardner found work in developing commercial projects, including stores, casinos and outdoor promenades. “It was transactional architecture,” he remembers. “All business.” So Gardner shifted gears and followed his passion for residential design. After working for others and leading projects in California, Arizona and Nevada, he saw the potential of the Las Vegas market and opened studio g ARCHITECTURE on his own in 2011.

FA R H A N N AQV I THE UNLIKELY PATH TO SUCCESS

Farhan Naqvi is known for his style as much as his success, but most never know the reason why. He prefers it that way. One of Southern Nevada’s most successful attorneys and a triple Gold Winner in the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Best of Las Vegas, Naqvi has made a career of turning setbacks into opportunities.

Though you wouldn’t know it at first glance, Naqvi’s path to success took some unexpected turns along the way.

“My father emigrated from Pakistan to Canada before I was born with just $100 in his pocket,” he said. “He worked any job he could find to support his family back home, eventually earning several degrees and becoming a professional engineer. He taught me the value of hard work, but also to do what you love.”

Naqvi kept that notion close to his heart when he moved to Las Vegas in 2003 and began practicing, initially, in insurance defense law. That job led him to one of the largest personal injury firms in Nevada, and a professional breakup that resulted in the greatest learning experience of his career.

“Through that experience, I met an attorney who would teach me what a successful firm looks like, and how to be a true business and community leader,” he said. “I carry those values in my firm today and believe it has
