  • Spring Break!

    —

    in ,

    Spring break! Spring break! Who would have thought that at 32 I’d be chanting those two words. But thank goodness for it, because I definitely need a break. While I haven’t been stressed out in the same way I was last semester (probably because I kind of feel like I know what I’m doing, maybe,…

  • Emergence Theme Is Service Design 2.0

    —

    in

    We decided to build off the momentum from last year’s Emergence conference and tackle service design again. But “again” is really the wrong way to put it, because that’s not how we’re thinking about it. The theme is Exploring the Boundaries of Service Design, and it will take place September 7–9. Our goal is to…

  • Moto Research Presentation a Success

    Today we talked about the feedback we got from Motorola on our exploratory research presentations we delivered on Monday. First we talked collectively. Then Shelley Evenson met with each team to provide her feedback. Shelley said our presentation was fantastic, which my team was delighted to hear, as we did not get a good vibe…

  • Career Days Interviews

    in

    At the end of last week, the School of Design held Confluence, a two-day job and internship stress fest. The madness began two weeks prior, when we could submit our resumes to the companies we were interested in. The companies then selected who they wanted to interview. This was all handled by an online system…

    From 10 a.m. Saturday morning till 1:30 p.m. Monday, my team and I worked on a presentation of our exploratory research for Motorola. Sadly, weekends have become simply days without class interruptions. The presentation went well, of sorts. The peeps from Motorola didn’t seem too keen on our exploration of the whole experience of a…

    Since we’re collaborating with Motorola for our studio 2 project on mobile media, I went to a lecture today on campus by Frederick Kitson, a VP at Motorola. The presentation was called “Mobile Applications Support for Entertainment.” Motorola’s vision, according to Kitson, is to drive seamless mobility. This was defined as communication sessions that cross…

  • Another Catch-up Post

    in

    I feel a bit lame, having not written in a while. This month, and this upcoming week in particular, is proving to be one of the most dense. I haven’t had a head to write. This post will likely be a rambling of complaints. Complainers are annoying. Today I woke up and read two articles…

  • Starting to Think About Theses

    —

    in

    Monday we had a meeting regarding choosing a thesis project and paper for the upcoming year. Over the course of the next month, it was suggested we start talking to faculty to see where there is a synergy in interests. Currently, I have no clear thoughts about what I will do for my thesis. I…

  • Job Fair Approaching

    in

    On the 22nd and 23rd, the School of Design has its annual job fair. As a first-year student, it’s an opportunity for me to talk to potential employers about summer internships. In addition to our regular nearly impossible workload, I’ve been writing and designing my résumé and planning my portfolio. Soon, I must actually design…
