IDEO visit HDK

Today I attended a lunch seminar at HDK with John Stoddard, designer from IDEO. The topic was about service design and the blurry no mans land between business and design. Hopefully the students, graduating from the fairly new Business and Design master programme at HDK, will bridge these gaps when they hit the market and companies start to acknowledge this new title. Service designer? Business designer? Businessist? Or whatever we will call them.
While I'm on the topic, check out driveninnovation.wordpress.com/ to find out what the future business designers are saying today.

Have a nice weekend!

New website launch

Finally the new website is ready to rocket into cyberspace. It is now not only a place to put some samples of work and contact info, but a blog as well, and hopefully I'll be updating it continuously. This webpage is powered by google's Blogger platform, which now is much more customizable than it used to be. Another advantage is that the account is linked to your other google applications such as gmail, youtube, picasa and so on. Or in other words google is taking over the world, join them or perish.
That's my first post, time is a quarter past midnight so I'll better call it the day and finish up here.
