No Sleep is "an an art director who never sleeps and is always on the lookout for big ideas," explains Design Taxi.
But it's not who No Sleep is that floored the recipients of his application, it was the application itself.

Bocca, the recipient, commented, "Thank you for the unconventional application. It was immensely original & thorough."
