The 2025 AVAIL Champion of the Year is Steve Bennett, Director of Design Technology at Taylor Design. Ever-generous with his time and workable examples, Steve has been instrumental in directing product development for AVAIL’s all-in-one content management solution.
To highlight a customer Champion who has been instrumental in directing product development for our all-in-one content management solution, AVAIL decided to select a Champion of the Year annually—beginning last year with IMEG’s Michael Edwards.
At AVAIL’s signature professional development event for technology leaders in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, Confluence Lexington 2025, we were thrilled to name Steve Bennett our 2025 AVAIL Champion of the Year and present him with an engraved julep cup to commemorate the achievement.
Steve is the Director of Design Technology at strategy-based design firm Taylor Design, which has been a loyal AVAIL customer since 2017.
“Steve is one of those guys that whenever I'm thinking about something crazy, I will ping Steve and say, 'Am I crazy? Can you help me get some feedback on this?'” AVAIL CEO and Founder Randall Stevens said while presenting Steve with the award.
“Steve has been generous with his time and examples for us to work with,” Randall adds.
“I am humbled that you selected me,” Steve said.
Taylor Design’s Steve Bennett was named the 2025 AVAIL Champion of the Year at AVAIL’s signature Confluence Lexington event on Friday, October 10, 2025.
