Who's the best custom frame designer?

Kellogg? Zinn? Serotta?

Maybe the guys at Seven, Parlee, Calfee or Crumpton?

I'm not asking about best materials / manufacturing. I'm asking who's the best at taking a bunch of inputs, fit, riding style, etc. and designing the right frame for a particular individual.

What inspired this question was a video I saw with Parlee - he may be a great frame builder, but I wasn't left with a lot of confidence that he knows a bunch about bike handling, etc. Could be wrong, but that was my impression.
