    in

    Just a brief note to say I recently accepted an offer to work at Adaptive Path over the summer. I’m super excited to experience what they’re all about and check out San Francisco. I start the end of May and finish in early August. Should be a good time. In other news, my illness has…

  • Hugh Dubberly’s Dozen Trends

    in

    Hugh Dubberly spoke at our Seminar 2 class this morning, but I missed it because I have been deathly ill. Since Friday, I have been fighting some terrible cold. Illness and grad school do not go together. He was also giving a lecture in my Studio 2 class. I managed to pull my aching body…

  • Words Fail to Describe

    —

    in

    I won’t tell you where I found time to read “Strong Words” by Véronique Vienne in the March/April 2007 issue of PRINT, but I did. The article questions the wisdom of changing the AIGA’s name a year ago from “American Institute of Graphic Arts” to “The Professional Association of Design,” and has a very interesting…

  • Spring Break!

    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

    —

    in

    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…

  • No Such Thing as a Weekend

    —

    in

    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…

  • Motorola Talk on Mobile Applications Support for Entertainment

    —

    in

    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…
