Growing up in public housing on Roosevelt Island in the middle of New York City’s East River, Elie Gamburg went to sleep every night staring at the city’s remarkable skyline from his bedroom window. His father was an artist and his mother a mathematician, so, “I guess I sort of had to do architecture if nothing else.”  Gamburg is a Design Principal at KPF, a global architecture firm known for designing some of the most innovative and high-profile buildings around the world. Working from New York and London, with a lot of travel around the world in between, Elie has been innovating for cities for over 20 years. His work is consistently sensitive to human scale, urban context, and sustainability. Some of the more famous projects he has worked on at KPF are the Seaport Square Master Plan and Channelside in Boston, Atlantis The Royal in Dubai and NYU Shanghai.  As a kid, everything was about buildings. Drawing them, looking at them, reading about them. After high school, he spent a summer at Cornell University, to see if he was cut out for his life’s ambition. Unsurprisingly, he was. Much of his time is still spent at school; he’s taught studios at his alma maters, Cornell and Harvard. He was an adjunct professor at NYIT for eight years and has served as a guest critic at Yale to name a few.  Listen in as Vince and Elie discuss how 100 years ago New York was the Dubai of the times, the concept of Central Social Districts, and why he has Ganesha, the god of wisdom, mischief and fun on his desk.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have we lost a sense of playfulness in our work … and could we get it back?In museums for children, why does “analog usually beat digital?” What's a “climbing structure”? What are design metaphors, and why should planners beware of them? How can exhibition teams better empathize with one another's fears and concerns? Why should a museum professional or designer “hyper-specialize”?Jonathan Goldstein and Kyle Talbott (Principals, Skyhouse Studio) join host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners) to discuss “Six Keys for Unlocking Your Most Playful, Creative Work.”Along the way: ancient trees, vacuum tubes, and Easter eggs.Talking Points:1.

Never deterred by a project's audaciousness (or the limitations of his botanical knowledge), Jonathan designs climbing structures to conjure adventure and perceived risk—the stuff of childhood memories. Prior to his architectural studies, Jonathan's earlier career as a junior high school history teacher prepared him for what would be his quest: To awaken people's senses and engage their innate curiosities. His specialization in climbing structure design is born from a desire to make special places for families to share uncommon, joyous experiences. Jonathan is the founder and design principal of SKYHOUSE Studio.Kyle Talbott is Design Principal at SKYHOUSE Studio. He is obsessed with designing complex three-dimensional labyrinths that challenge the mind and body. He uses cutting-edge parametric modeling software to sculpt weird, organic structures inspired by everything from a craggy mountainside to an osprey nest. Kyle sees the world as a complex, orderly whole, and his climber designs embody the harmony of natural and technological things. He is also a passionate educator who is an Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. In all his work, Kyle helps people cultivate a growth mindset and a heroic spirit through inquisitive play.About MtM:Making the Museum is hosted (podcast) and written (newsletter) by Jonathan Alger.

William Dodge shares his unique career journey, from applying to architecture school multiple times, working as a janitor, and eventually becoming a managing principal at a major architecture firm.He discusses his approach to architecture - creating community-focused spaces rather than just facilitating buildings. William talks about starting his own practice, Public, to do great work with wonderful people while getting paid his value. He also runs a public art firm called A Gang of Three. Throughout the conversation, William offers advice on being fearless, hustling, and doing your best work with what you have. He emphasizes the importance of authenticity, resilience, and creating situations where everyone wins rather than winners/losers.Highlights:Architects often become facilitators of buildings rather than builders of community-focused spaces.Take jobs and risks - you immediately fail by not trying. Rejection is not the end.Find how your unique skills and talents can provide value, even if you're not the best at one particular thing.Do what you love, work with great people, make a difference - you should be able to do these without sacrificing pay.Life is too short to work for "assholes." Build a culture where people are valued and encouraged to eventually move on.Show up, be yourself, do your best work - this attracts the right clients and opportunities.Alluvial DecoderThe award-winning project William discusses.

Why would we want to discuss brutalism and mid-century modern architecture with an architect and two engineers? Because we believe in learning about approaching art and design from a variety of perspectives and backgrounds. Brutalism seemed like a perfect fit for us to bring in experts and find where connections could be found and also how we see art differently. Our hope is that listeners will be inspired to step outside their comfort zones and start having discussions of their own with people with different perspectives and expertise. We all walked away from our discussion with broader understandings of brutalism, and hopefully, you will too. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Becky Bloom, Assistant Director of Curatorial Affairs at SUMA, Dr. Matthew Roberts SUU Associate Dean of the College of Engineering and Computational Sciences, Mark Harris Structural Engineer and Senior Principal with Reaveley Engineers, and Chad Neilson CEO, Design Principal, MHTN Architects.

In this episode of Architecture, Design & Photography we sit down with Heagi Kang, co-founder and design principal at Andmore Partners based in Los Angeles, CA.Heagi (Hyeung Seok) Kang, AIA, is a co-founder and design principal at Andmore Partners in Los Angeles, which he started in 2015 with Sean Mo. His professional career began with an internship at Eric Own Moss Architects and evolved into 14 years of residential and commercial experience working at GMPA Architects (previously GMP), Mix Studioworks, and AC Martin + TSM. Prior to studying architecture, Heagi navigated several different fields, starting from social welfare at Yonsei University in Seoul and anthropology and fine art at the University of Oregon (Eugene). While he was in the master's program at Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) in Los Angeles, he took two international programs, collaborating with a studio at The Berlage in Rotterdam and another in Kyoto Seika University in Japan. Heagi's interdisciplinary studies and varied hands-on architectural experiences allow him to shape his own way of seeing a design. His fundamental process provides a deeper understanding and critical path of thinking compared to the typical design process. Heagi believes that creativity originates from finding, discovering, and combining two or more different things, rather than inventing a new thing that never existed. In that sense, as an architect, he values hidden or ignored elements that can open the possibilities to embrace our lifestyle through the quality of spaces. Heagi also approaches “architecture as a developer,” which is not the traditional role of the architect. He believes this approach helps find a balance between financial feasibility and architectural rightness. More from Heagi Kang: Website: https://www.a-n-d-m-o-r-e.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andmore_partners/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heagi-kang-343a1367/ More from us: Website: http://www.trentbell.comInstagram: http://instagram.com/trentbellphotography/

Two northern wings and a single southern wing are connected by a bridge at each upper level, acting as a physical and social connector. The bridge and upper-level common spaces overlook an open plaza, a sloped lawn with stepped amphitheater seats to the west, and an intimate courtyard for residents to the east on the ground floor. The design incorporates the school's colors and an angular motif from hexagonal patterns found on the campus' mid-century buildings to unite the interior and exterior architecture. To see project photos and details discussed, visit https://www.arcat.com/podcast (arcat.com/podcast) This project provided unique challenges and opportunities - complexity of public project requirements, a pandemic in the middle of construction impacted the budget through price increases and labor and material supply challenges, a design-build model provided flexibility to make adjustments to project challenges, and much more.

In this episode, Nicole Lashae Ben, CEO of Thrive In Design, and Jessica Mann-Amato, Design Principal and Co-Owner of Mancini Duffy, chat about integrating tech into the interior design process and client experience. Jessica leads Mancini Duffy through transparency emphasizing company culture and technology. Mancini is a 100+-year-old tech-driven design firm in NYC whose clients include Peloton, Soho House, Boqueria, American Airlines, Brooklyn Nets, and NBC Sports. Mancini's co-owners run the firm like a start-up with technology as the key driver of all initiatives. Mancini is a diverse firm — 51% of the firm is female — nearly twice the industry norm. In 2020, Mancini's designers revolutionized the design process by inventing the patent-pending The Toolbelt, a software that allows Mancini's clients to explore and manipulate the 3D models of their spaces using Virtual Reality to explore and make adjustments to the designs in real-time. Utilizing The Toolbelt, Mancini's designers can do in 3 hours what it takes most architects 3 weeks to do. Jessica has layered technology into every facet of Mancini's design process. She utilizes The Toolbelt to lead clients through proprietary 360 Design Sessions, immersing them in their spaces and allowing for a truly collaborative, interactive design process. Listen in for some amazing insight on technology, innovation, and how interior product companies can integrate into the emerging design process.

Jason Boyer's work redefines what's possible through the eyes of the client - rethinking the norms of architectural practice to drive performance-based design solutions that result in elegant, simple, and compelling project outcomes. A graduate from the University of Illinois and Arizona State University, Boyer was recognized among the top three graduates in his Master of Architecture class and has since served in an Adjunct Faculty position with the ASU School of Architecture. At age 35 Boyer was named Design Principal and Director of Architecture for the Phoenix office of OWP/P, a notable accomplishment in a profession where the average principal age is 52. In 2009 OWP/P merged with Cannon Design where he served as Design Principal for Cannon Design's Phoenix based Western Mountain Region office. A firm-wide design leader, he collaborated across offices with projects in Chicago, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and San Francisco. His design leadership was recognized by the General Services Administration in 2009 with the selection of his portfolio for the Region 9 Land Port of Entry Design Excellence IDIQ program.In 2012 Boyer founded Jason Boyer Architects, adding real estate development to his skillset with the completion of artHAUS, a nationally recognized residential infill project. He has since transformed his practice to include design-led real estate development, re-establishing it as Boyer Vertical in 2020. Boyer Vertical integrates architecture, development, and design|build construction under a single real estate platform focused on creating sustainable architecturally significant projects. artHAUS, the first project completed under the Boyer Vertical umbrella, is a 25-unit smart, modern transit-oriented development that serves as a model for missing-middle infill housing and has been featured in the Urban Land Institute case study library. In February 2022, Jason Boyer joined the three percent of AIA members who have been honored for making significant contributions to the profession by being elevated to the AIA College of Fellows.Boyer's strength is balance – possessing an entrepreneurial skillset that is both design and business savvy. He is a mentor of talent with a legacy for identifying and developing promising young professionals. He values the “total architect” skillset above a singular focused design or practice management path and shares that perspective in the design studios he teaches at ASU.This accumulated experience informs a compelling practice trajectory, moving Boyer outside the norms of architectural practice and into the role of real estate developer where his work will continue to add societal value with elegant, simple, and compelling self-directed architecture.

Dong Gong, founder and Design Principal of Vector Architects, Beijing-based firm, one of the most interesting and authoritative figures among Chinese architects, globally applauded with important recognitions, is our guest in this podcast. After his Bachelor's and Master's at the Tsinghua University, he spent about seven years in US, for another Master of Architecture at the University of Illinois and working at the offices of Richard Meier and Steven Holl in New York. Practicing architect and academic educator, he has seen his extremely brilliant career acknowledged by prestigious local and international rewards. Elected as the Foreign Member of French Academy of Architecture in 2019, appointed as the Plym Distinguished Visiting Professor at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Visiting Professor of Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy, he has been teaching design studios at Tsinghua University and Central Academy of Fine Arts since 2014. Guest speaker and critic at prominent academic and professional institutions around the world, he has been invited to various major exhibitions, including the first Chinese architecture exhibition at MoMA New York; the 2018 “FREESPACE” Venice Biennale. The firm has been awarded the “RIBA International Awards for Excellence” for two projects in the same year, 2021, “100+ Best Architecture Firms” selected by Domus (2019), nominated for the Swiss Architectural Award (2018); overall winner of“Archmarathon Awards” in 2016; and “Design Vanguard” selected by Architectural Record (2014) and the projects, collected as a monograph in the renowned architectural journal AV Monographs, have been widely published in Casabella, Arquitectura Viva, The New York Times, A+U, Detail, The Architectural Review, L'Architecture d'Aujourd'hui, Lotus, Domus and many others. Opportunity of the conversation is offered by the current exhibition at the MoMa, N.Y, dedicated to the new generation of independent Chinese architects Dong Gong belongs to, deepening the passionate commitment he has always demonstrated towards resource-consciousness and awareness of social and cultural traditional values, leading his own practice working independently from state-run design institutes. We dwell on his architecture of deceleration and more contemplation, against a too fast urbanisation that a decade ago has dramatically transformed a vernacular, familiar context into a generic, unemotional and alien environment and on the respectful attempt of his interventions seeking to guarantee continuity with the past, offering emotionally involving experiences for the people.Urban and natural landscapes have demonstrated his innate and attentive sensibility decoding and deciphering the energies of multiple, diverse sites: Suochengli Neighborhood Library, a regenerative intervention related to a typical Chinese courtyard-block, in the historical district of Yantai, a port city in northern China, is an evident testimony of revitalization, based on a brilliant dialogue reactivated between past and present. The Captain's House, famous, award-winning work related to a house that sit on the rocks, on a cliff by the sea, on the Peninsula of Beijiao Village, in Fujian Province, represents another extremely significant intervention that, motivated by the need to address conditions of deterioration of the building, has provided a series of unexpected and unrequested important, valuable additions on an aesthetic-emotional level and from a social point of view. Light is another element that plays a fundamental role in his architecture, often revealing an intense aspiration to break limitations and boundaries as exemplary suggests the small Seashore Chapel, in close contact with the infinity of the ocean or intending to help meditation, relaxation and enjoyment as in the Seashore library.

Guest of this appointment is Jay Valgora, founder and principal of the Manhattan-based STUDIO V Architecture. He is an architect passionately dedicated to preserve and revitalise the relevant narrative of an heritage at risk of disappearing with particular interest for former abandoned industrial districts. Received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cornell University and a Master of Architecture degree from Harvard he was a founding member and Design Director of Rockwell Group and Design Principal at Walker Group, until he decided to start his own practice in 2006. The firm embraces multiple services from master plans, to commercial and residential. Their projects have received important recognitions, as AIA awards, International Design Award, Architizer A+ Awards, Architectural Record Award, being featured in prestigious publications including The New York Times, Architectural Record, Dwell, Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine, Crain's New York, and Architect's Newspaper.The conversation starts focusing on the circumstances that led a child, grown up in Buffalo, former industrial New York City's waterfront site, where the father was working in the steel mills, to the great fascination for a large collection of gigantic, iconic grain elevators until conceiving ‘Silo City', a vision and proposal of an impressive adaptive reuse intending to link the silos and re-connect a community, winner of Future Project of the Year 2021 at World Architecture Festival. Another project polarizes the discussion: the really beautiful and meaningful rehabilitation of seven adjoining red brick former coffee warehouses, the Empire Stores, left languishing for over half a century along the Brooklyn waterfront, transformed into a dynamic community hub, successfully combining old and new and strategically reconnecting community and waterfront. Several important considerations are exchanged about 10 abandoned oil tanks along the East River in Brooklyn, which have been subject of a contention lasting years between Studio V, supported by many other environmentalists, landscape architects, scientists, activists and artists, intending to keep and adapt the majestic, luring industrial structures into a public park and the divergent position of those who didn't want to maintain them. Digital design constitutes another aspect explored by the practice to reach experimental structural solutions, like the facade of a Casino, former historical Yonkers 'Hilltop Racetrack'. The conversation concludes with a truly important and captivating message Valgora divulges, talking about ‘Last Utopia', a book he will publish soon. He speaks of the necessity to find again optimism and the indispensable new role that architects are expected to play in a time of great anxiety and uncertainty.

 A new episode is out, and today we feature Dawn Ahukanna (@dawnahukanna). She is challenged with the heuristic “Your solution should not be more complicated than the problem” from the Xebia Essentials repository (https://essentials.xebia.com/kiss/). We discuss what solution vs problem space needs, and how different disciplines complement each other in order to deliver value. Dawn shares with us what are the heuristics that allow people with different perspectives to cross their paths to solve a complex problem. Dawn recommends the following resources: As-is scenario mapping (https://www.ibm.com/design/thinking/page/toolkit/activity/as-is-scenario-map) To-be scenario mapping (https://www.ibm.com/design/thinking/page/toolkit/activity/to-be-scenario-map)  Service Blueprint (Sequence diagram for people and interactions) (https://www.nngroup.com/articles/service-blueprints-definition/) Cynefin framework (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynefin_framework) Wardley maps (https://medium.com/wardleymaps) Dawn Ahukanna (@dawnahukanna) is a Design Principal at IBM Design. She's always been curious about how "things" work, taking things apart and trying, failing, learning, trying again, failing, trying again and finally putting them back to together. Sometimes, making completely new things in the what should have been a re-assembly process. She started her career as a Chemical Engineer, taking things apart at the atomic level and figuring out how they worked. Then simulating and emulating abstract models by developing and programming software. Finally progressing to figuring out how people work, without taking them apart or simulating, as a Design Principal and Front-End Architect. Her mission: To design, develop and deliver digital user experiences that hopefully delight, definitely enables or at least don't frustrate, the clients and users.  

In this episode of Illuminate Higher Education, podcast host Kiran Kodithala (CEO of N2N Services) welcomes a new guest: David Blake, Founder of Degreed. David and Kiran continue the discussion about determining the value of a college degree, and David reviews how his company Degreed is making it easier for employers to evaluate skills for non-traditional educational paths. Both Kiran and David are self-professed lifelong learners. The problem is, currently only certain types of learning milestones are taken into consideration by employers, notably a four-year college degree. When companies eliminate job candidates based on this requirement, they are missing out on an unknown amount of talent. Meanwhile, countless skilled individuals who lack a college degree are losing years of increased salary, even if their skills and abilities exceed what their current job calls for, because they don’t meet this requirement. It is within this context that David shares Degreed’s mission and goals. David believes that schools and employers often weigh learning inputs more heavily than learning outputs. Degreed seeks to change that by rewarding demonstrated mastery of certain skills, rather than simply rewarding someone for completing a class. Listen now to hear how David began his journey in education technology, what Degreed has to offer both individual learners and employers, and why it’s so important to earn “credit” for self-guided lifelong learning that takes place outside of the classroom but doesn’t fit the mold for traditional educational background. Discover more about Degreed by visiting their website and following on LinkedIn or @degreed on Twitter.

Qui êtes vous ?“Vincent Dufrane, je suis ingénieur industriel et je travaille depuis 22 ans dans le domaine hospitalier. J’ai eu un changement de carrière assez important en gardant le même coeur de cible il y a un an et demie. Je suis passé du domaine public au domaine privé, chez VK Architects & Engineers. Je travaillais anciennement chez le client, dans les hôpitaux et aujourd’hui dans un bureau d’études spécialisé." Comment Vincent Dufrane, à la sortie de ses études, trouve-t-il un emploi ?Jolie story que vous entendrez avec cette belle phrase : “l’université nous apprend à acquérir une façon de réfléchir !”.Quelle est la différence entre le secteur public et le privé ?Voilà une question très pertinente à laquelle répond Vincent Dufrane : dans le public, le travail administratif est très présent !HVAC ? Vous connaissez ce terme : Heating, ventilation and Air conditionning.Mais quelle est la différence entre le secteur hospitalier et le secteur tertiaire ?Vous le découvrirez en écoutant ce podcast : les paramètres sont différents, notamment les normes.Tous ingénieurs ? Quelle cohabitation ?“Il faut savoir qu’il n’y a seulement que sur les papiers qu’il y a une différence. On fait tous le même travail, vraiment un travail d’équipe. C’est quelque chose qui existe un peu plus dans le public parce que c’est le niveau d’étude qui va définir le barême auquel vous pouvez prétendre et le salaire. Alors qu’ici, on se base uniquement sur des compétences, sur l’expérience et pas sur un niveau d’études en particulier. Evidemment, il y a toujours un pré requis minimal quand on engage quelqu’un. Mais ce n’est pas forcément un frein ou quelque chose qui va être clivant au sein d’un bureau comme celui où je travaille aujourd’hui.”Vincent Dufrane a t’il vu une évolution dans son métier au sein de VK ?Oui, découvrez sa réponse. Les chantiers sont “colossaux” dit-il et les équipes passionnées par ce qu’elles font.Michel insiste sur la “passion” au travail… et Vincent Dufrane fait un bilan : "Malheureusement, il y a tellement d’inertie à la machine (publique), l’aspect juridique et les recours commencent à être tellement présents qu’on a malheureusement plus vraiment la possibilité de retour en arrière, de marge de manoeuvre.”Pour ce qui est du bilan Covid :Vous apprendrez comment VK a été impacté et quelle a été leur stratégie pour ne mettre que peu de personnes au chômage temporaire.Particularités du secteur hospitalier :Vincent Dufrane nous parlera de la relation avec les médecins, un challenge important “d’arriver à convaincre le monde hospitalier que parfois le monde du technique a des idées tout aussi valables.”Pour le mot de la fin, un message ou conseil à donner aux jeunes qui voudraient entrer chez VK ?Il en a deux, bien détaillées dans son discours.éviter de se faire des idées trop précises du métier que l’on veut faire plus tard.passer chez un installateur !Texte de : Christine Mentior

"There is nothing wrong with failing. Failing is a learning moment. If you failed and you took the time to reflect and learn why you failed, and what you can do to change that course, and who can help you with that, most importantly, then you haven’t failed. You’ve just learned something." Oen Hammonds is a Design Principal at IBM here in Austin where his job focuses on employee experience design. As early as High School he found himself designing for others, and after an eight year stint in the U.S. Army, he picked up where he left off and studied design in college.

He talks a lot about his path to the success he has found today and how important it is for a designers to have humility in their work.

In this episode, we talk about technologggyyyy! Yeah, that's right, we talk about a text Alvin wrote not too long ago, where he characterized the intersection between technology and intuition as “techne.” He believes that we should start seeing technology as a provocation (as a means) instead of as a solution (as an ends). He raises the question of what it means for architects and designers to be able to intuitively and knowledgeably using digital tools for fabrication and for designing. We also talk about the term “parametricism” and about how pattern, a focus of his studies for a long time, is actually an architectural device that can communicate a lot for people and its environment. We also talk about pattern for the sake of aesthetics is a waste of time.

Welcome to the 2019 NEXT Conference Series. Recorded live in Chicago, this series is bringing interviews straight to you from exhibitors and speakers at this year’s event. In this interview, host Jamin Brazil interviews Ellen Kolstø, Design Principal at IBM Q.  Find Ellen Online: LinkedIn Website: www.ibm.com/us-en [00:02] My guest today is Ellen.  Ellen’s been on the show before.  She’s with IBM Q, right? [00:08]     Well, yeah.  I’m actually now working in the quantum computing space.  I used to work on AI for two-and-a-half years, which is how I happen to be here, talking about AI.   [00:17] How did your talk go?   [00:19] It was great.  We had a lot of really interesting people in the room, a lot of discussion around “Are you ready for AI?”, “What does it involve?” in terms of having successful AI or AI that works reliably.  So we had a great discussion.  [00:31] That’s awesome.  This is my first time at the NEXT Conference.  Have you been here before? [00:35]    No, this is my first time too. [00:37] What do you think? [00:38]       Oh, I think it’s great.  I think that anytime you can get a bunch of market researchers together to talk about what’s going on, it’s super helpful.  And you learn something from what everyone else is doing. I took a bunch of mental notes even in my own session of people mentioning things.  So, yeah, it’s helpful. [00:53] It’s fun; that’s fun.  So, what are you seeing as...?  Were you able to participate in any of the earlier sessions? [01:00] [Sighs] No, I flew in late last night. [01:01]  That’s what I thought. [01:02] And then we were preparing for this morning’s presentation.  So, I learned a lot in my own session so far. [01:11] Ahh, that’s...  What’s your big takeaway? [01:13] That everyone is super excited about AI, but they don’t know how to get started.   [01:19]   Totally. [01:19]   And my view point on it is it’s the same sort of test-and-learn scenario of any part of market research:  take a small part of what you’re doing, test it out, figure out what you’re learning and move from there rather than trying to boil the ocean.  And I think that was what a lot of the people who tried it were talking about as well in the session.   [01:43] So, what is one practical way...  Can people engage with you or IBM to help in a similar way to like AWS? [01:52]   Uh, well, that’s a good question.  Uh, that’s a hard one for me to answer. [02:00] Are engagements usually...  Like when I think about IBM, you know this is enterprise-to-enterprise sort of like an engagement, right?  And that’s kind of like the sweet spot, I think, of why people turn to IBM in that kind of context. [02:12] Right.  I mean we have cloud services and we do have Watson on the cloud.  So you can.. [02:18]    Oh Watson, yeah, right.  Exactly. [02:20] Yeah, you can access Software as a Service through IBM as well.  So you can engage in that way. I just wasn’t sure if you meant me personally, or... [02:29]   No, no, no, I’m sorry.  That was a bad question.     [02:30] I was like, “Well, you could, but that would be a LOT of people.”   [02:33] That would be a lot of people. [02:34] Uh, but you can actually use IBM’s products, but we create products in the space that help other people build models.  So the question is whether you want to build your own model or whether you want use a service that already has models built for you.  [02:49] Oh, got it.  That’s actually super interesting. [02:51] Yeah, it’s a decision to make for sure. [02:55]   Good.  Yeah, so, you’re flying out today? [02:58] I am. [02:59] Are you really? [03:00] I’ve got client meetings tomorrow.  So, it’s like no rest for the weary. [03:04] No rest for the wicked.  I think is how that goes.   [03:05] I know the wicked.

Join insight leaders on June 13 – 14 in Chicago for NEXT, where you can discover how technology and innovation are changing the market research industry. In this episode, Jamin Brazil interviews Ellen Kolstø, Design Principal at IBM Q. Find Ellen Online: LinkedIn Website: www.ibm.com/us-en [00:01] Hi, I'm Jamie Brazil, and you're listening to the Happy Market Research podcast. My guest today is Ellen Kolstø, Design Principle at IBM Q. International Business Machines Corporation, or IBM, is an American multinational information technology company that is headquartered in New York, with operations in over 170 countries. In 2016, IBM launched the IBM Q Experience, which is an online platform that gives the general public access to a set of IBM's cloud based quantum computing. Ellen has hosted lectures at the University of Texas on design for artificial intelligence and has served in senior roles on both the agency and services side for companies including JWT, Young & Rubicam, Leo Burnett and BrainJuicer. Ellen, thanks for being on the Happy Market Research podcast today! [00:49] Happy to be here! Thank you. [00:51] Tell me a little bit about your background. This is kind of helpful for us because it level sets, and gives us a little bit of context of who you are. [01:02] Yeah, always a great question. So I started life in the agency environment as a strategic planner and so it came up through that world of account planning. I'd like to say it came over from the Mayflower, sometime in the 80s, from the British, and I grew up in that culture where it was very much about understanding customers and working with them and doing the research yourself so that you could translate that into creative strategy for communications. So I started in that world, and did that for quite a while. Then I felt that over time, the balance of the amount of research that was getting conducted shifted over to clients themselves, and they were taking on more of that in their own realms, and agencies were doing a little bit less of that. And so I found it very attractive to move into the realm of market research, where I could spend all my time conducting research, which is my favorite thing. And that is when I moved into that world and into BrainJuicer, now known as System1. I liked that environment as well because we did a lot of really innovative types of research using technology, so it combined these two worlds that I've been playing in, especially most recently. We did a lot of online ethnography and also online community. So you had a lot of tools to use and have consumers come with you for weeks and months in some cases as they work through different experiences with you, so that you could maximize products. And it was really fun, whether it was a long-term engagement, working with them on their relationship to cookies and unboxing experiences or how they selected their phone service and all that kind of fun that went along with that. So I did that for a few years, and then, I had this interesting opportunity where someone said: “Hey, IBM is looking for people with deeper search experience in what we call ‘user research and technology’”. Looking for that for Watson, specifically in the realm of AI, specifically they built up that team because Watson was new three years ago, it was just getting started, especially with the design team, and that is the group that creates the user interface and all of the tooling that our customers use to create AI themselves. I decided to go talk to them, and it was a really great experience. And I ended up there in a completely different realm: total technology, business to business, enterprise environment, but in a completely new and exciting space. And I was very energized by that. And that is how I ended up making my way to IBM throug...

Welcome to the Design Thinking podcast! I'm Dawan Stanford, your host. I'm excited to welcome Jessica Dugan to today's episode. Jessica is a Design Principal on the Healthcare Design team at 3M Design. She has worked in the healthcare industry for over five years. In our chat today, you'll learn about her journey as a designer into her current role, her experience as a service designer in healthcare, and the lessons she's learned that might serve others. As Jess will explain today, she also comes from a non-traditional background. Her undergraduate degree is in writing and journalism, but she soon realized that wasn't her path. She began getting into design, and realized that the part of writing that resonated with her was the ability to connect with people. She went back to graduate school for design, and joined a service design consulting firm. Because Jess has worked in various significantly different environments, it's fascinating to hear her perspective on how they differ, as well as what the transitions were like. She'll also explore her experience in the healthcare industry in general, and share some of the key lessons she took away from her experience at United Health. In addition to exploring these topics, Jess will also dive into the potential value in service design, using service design from a Scrum perspective, and what she has had to deal with in healthcare that might be invisible to people in other design fields. She'll recommend several powerful resources that have been invaluable for her, and share some insight into topics that she recommends for future episodes.

African Americans make up about 12 percent of the population in the U.S. but only about two percent of registered architects, with African American women consisting of .02 percent of architects overall. If the practice is meant to reflect the people being designed for, it will need to find ways to promote diversity within the field and in educational programs. In this episode we talk with three members of Perkins+Will, one of the first big US studios to hire a Director of Global Diversity, who are aiming to do just that.  Our guests include: Gabrielle Bullock, an active member of NOMA (the National Organization of Minority Architects), Director of Global Diversity and leader of Perkins+Will’s Diversity+Inclusion+Engagement Strategic Plan; Nick Seierup, Design Principal in the Los Angeles office and inaugural Visiting Scholar at Tuskegee University; and Kevin Holland, Director of Operations at Perkins+Will LA, also on the Architectural Advisory Board at Tuskegee University and a past President of NOMA.  Don’t forget — we’re a crowdfunded podcast, which means we rely on YOU!
