Joseph often gets asked how he comes up with new ideas each year. He explains, "You never know where inspiration may come from. Everything I see or hear around me can spark new inspiration. Sometimes it is a pattern that I see in a fine painting, a line in a classic Christmas story, a conversation that we may be having in the studio, a suggestion from a collector. Or sometimes when I am simply sketching something just clicks — and my design takes a new unexpected path. I often know I'm on to a good design when it begins to make me smile — then I know I have a winner. I love what I do and I think that is important, because I feel it really shows in the final design."

Joseph takes great pride in designing each new piece with the style and tradition that Radko is known for. Details are impeccable and the artistry is magnificent. Each hand made glass ornament is produced in its European factories which apply the same time tested techniques and process that have been used since the beginning.

As the Product Manager of the Christopher Radko European Glass Ornaments, Lucas loves seeing all the designs go through the entire development from original concept to the exquisite final products. His specialty is creating a good mix of classic Radko styles integrated with fresh ideas.

"It is a lot of fun to come to work each day," commented Lucas. "When we sit in design meetings we come up with a lot of different ideas but to see those ideas really come to life throughout the process is something I really enjoy."

"I think what makes our designs so unique is the detailed development time that each item requires. No stone goes unturned as we go through the process and what results are the finished products that make everyone smile."

Lucas is dedicated to upholding the quality and excellence that the Radko name has represented for a quarter of a century. He is very focused and detail oriented, and has a passion for his work that shines through.

When it comes to selecting the premier designs that are then developed, Jonathan feels that, "the actual designs are just as important as how we take those designs and apply them to the materials we are using. What makes a Radko Snow Globe so precious is the care and detail that goes into it. As we are developing products we are always thinking about the people that are going to be enjoying and cherishing them."

Mario has been involved in the success of every Christopher Radko line. As an example, the Home for the Holidays tabletop collection has established itself as a core brand in the Radko portfolio under his direction. Additionally, he was also a key team member in developing the wildly popular vintage 1940s-themed Shiny-Brite™ collection.

"I am very proud to have been a part of bringing so many of the Christopher Radko designs to life and knowing that my work brings joy to so many families. It is a privilege to work with the team of dedicated and talented Radko designers and artisans. I am thankful that I get to draw and design for a living and when I have the privilege of meeting collectors who admire the Radko products that we create, it's a humbling experience for which I am extremely grateful."

Through the years, the core Radko brands have expanded and evolved by the continued dedication and talents Mario brings to the Radko brand. By tirelessly focusing on market trends and innovative design techniques, Mario's designs ensure that each collection created is worthy of the "Radko" name and legacy.
