"He knows how to surprise with his ideas"

If a person knows how to think unconventionally, they always find many ideas to achieve success. These are exactly the words I could use to describe him. We have several projects in common, so we communicate from time to time. He is a very pleasant interlocutor; with him, it is always simple and easy. He is kind, sociable, and responsive. And another trait of character that I really like in him is modesty. I spoke with him so much and did not know about his works. When we exchanged contacts, I saw his creations. I liked them very much: his thinking, his ideas, and the way he embodies them in his works. He uses different techniques in creativity and knows how to surprise.
