Out of the Woods
What a weekend! I’m just getting back from AIGA Seattle’s Into the Woods (formerly Design Camp). I’ve never been so inspired or had so much fun in a straight 36 hour span with a bunch of designers. Here’s a quick list of highlights and some pics. More to come as I internally debrief.
- iPod Mixer: DJ.Design (Justin Byrnes), Jakob Trollback, Me, Brett Schwager, Mark Kaufman and a few others spent the evening hooking up iPods, MacBooks, mixing, scratching, compositing, and gettin’ giggy. Definitely one of the best music moments of my life. It all really took off when Brett “spun” a podcast of Barack Obama and I overlaid “Patterns” by “End“. Of course Justin did his fader magic which gave Barack a little more flava.
- Microphone: I was honored with the role of emcee for the event which was an absolute thrill ride. I am so grateful for the opportunity to meet and introduce such creative and inspiring leaders as Angela Adams, Jay Ryan of The Bird Machine, Sarah Gephart and Ariel Apte of MGMT Design, Thomas Castro, Dimitri Nieuwenhuizen and Jeroen Barendse of LUST, and Mick Hodgson of Ph.D.
- more to come…
