Didn’t get to go to Interaction15? Wouldn’t even if you didn’t know about it because you’re not an interaction designer? Never fear! here are my favorite talks in a nutshell (and why). I will preface with telling you that there were usually three talks going at a time and so I certainly didn’t attended all…

Meg Jay: “Why 30 is not the new 20”
“Do something that adds value to who you are. Do something that’s an investment in who you might want to be” Carissa sent me this with hesitation saying it would either motivate me or antagonize my fretful nature. Meg Jay is a clinical psychologist who’s talk is about making the most of our 20s, contrary…
“Kern & Bern: Conversation With Design Entrepreneurs” belated reaction
I’m so behind, but I’ll try to write a little something anyway, for my own memory’s sake. (Note, some of this is from my post written for the AIGA/NY blog) So last Thursday, I went to an event called Kern & Bern: Conversation With Design Entrepreneurs hosted by co-authors Tim Hoover and Jessica Heltzel who led a…
Another one to add to the list: Laurie Rosenwald
On Saturday I had the tremendous good fortune to help out with a workshop by illustrator Laurie Rosenwald through AIGA. I had seen her work before through little animations she’d made for David Sedaris and then back-tracking to her own personal videos after really enjoying the design style. I remember after seeing this video coveting…
The intersection of time, money, and thought (and Stefan Sagmeister)
Whether or not an onlooker would feel likewise, I’ve come to a point in my career where I feel comfortable with the amount and quality of clients but I am still struggling with the art of asking. I find real, personal value in my process of creating a design and that value is coming up…
Sebastian Errazuriz on ‘Hacking Life: Using Creativity to Break into the System’
Today I went to an AIGA lecture by Sebastian Errazuriz, a Chilean artist based in New York that was pretty interesting. He was the first presenter in a series called “Hacking Life: Using Creativity to Break into the System” and I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. First of all, he wasn’t even a graphic designer. 🙂
Sarah Kay’s TED Talks
I think expression is important. It’s not secret that how much I value the arts. It’s more than something to look at or read, no matter how superficial something like…a blog post…might seem. It’s time, energy, and introspection. Even if it’s not meaningful to you, the observer, the process of creating it sheds light on…
It’s been a year…
since this… Whoa. My one year BA anniversary! It’s flew by! It’s been a year since I started my five year diary! I’m on the second row now! At this time last year…I think I was probably at the Buckhorn with Carissa! I can’t even comprehend right now. Last Thursday I attended Cliff Kuang‘s fantastically…
Some design reflection
I love this lecture by Chip Kidd. I love his zest. It’s not often that I go to some lecture or forum and not enjoy it a least a little bit. At the very least, I’m content and don’t really regret going even if it’s not the most extraordinarily compelling. Opportunity cost stuff, you know.…

Attending the incredible graphic designer Aaron Draplin‘s lecture next week. 04. Very sure that I will be attending Denver’s Uke Fest when Laura…
