Justin Ahrens: The Reflex Blue Show #280

Justin Ahrens is no stranger to the Reflex Blue Show, as he makes his 32nd appearance (for non-hosts, only Steve Gordon has been on the show more often).

We cover the many changes and evolutions of Rule29 over the past six years – ending with being part of the O’Neil Printing Platform, his Design Of podcast, the Running Ahrens podcast he is co-host of, the other podcast he was on, the Homy Inn, Runza, designing for good and using color to heal, and more.

HOW Design Live 2023, Conference Recap 1 of 3 : Justin Ahrens, David C. Baker, Michael Bierut, Bill Gardner, Darcy Hinrichs, Gary Kopervas, Emily Mills, Stefan Mumaw, Calvin Ng

Justin Ahrens, David C. Baker, Michael Bierut, Bill Gardner, Darcy Hinrichs, Gary Kopervas, Emily Mills, Stefan Mumaw, and Calvin Ng discuss the first day of 2023’s HOW Design Live in Nashville, Tennessee.

This HOW had an energy I missed. It was great to see such a large gathering of designers in one place, and to also have the opportunity to explore a new town. Truthfully, I did not really make it off of the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, but the place felt like its own town, so I’ll count it. After my three daily recaps from HOW Design Live, I will be releasing a total of eight other podcasts I recorded while there over the next few months. Thanks again to HOW Design Live for a great event, and once again bringing in a great host of speakers to inspire until next year.

Enjoy.

HOW Design Live 2022, Conference Recap 3 of 3 : Justin Ahrens, Jeff Bloom, Michele Pistone, Kelly Wang

Justin Ahrens, Jeff Bloom, Michele Pistone, and Kelly Wang discuss the last day of 2022’s HOW Design Live in Boston.

What a great event, and one that feels way too short. That being said, HOW once again packed in more sessions than anyone could possibly ever see, and the amount of speakers is crazy. I can only hope Nashville in 2023 can live up to this one.

Enjoy.

HOW Design Live 2022, Conference Recap 2 of 3 : Justin Ahrens, Ti Chang, Stephen Gates, Jamie Saunders, Ahbleza Sellars, Nicole Slaw

Justin Ahrens, Ti Chang, Stephen Gates, Jamie Saunders, Ahbleza Sellars, and Nicole Slaw discuss the second day of 2022’s HOW Design Live in Boston.

Every conference has many things you remember, but always that one thing that you remember first. Sometimes it’s a speaker (for me, HOW 2014, Bob Gill). Sometimes it’s an outside event (for me, the Red Sox game before HOW 2012 with a couple dozen HOWies). Sometimes it’s something completely unexpected. HOW 2022’s exhibit hall looked pretty standard at first glance, but then, in the back, The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile! As I recap Day 2 of the conference I work my way through the exhibit hall until I get to talk to one of the Hotdoggers about how they got this thing onto the second floor of a convention center…

Enjoy.

Justin Ahrens, Saana Hellsten, Karen Larson, Lillian Ling, Nicholas Nawroth, Calvin Ng, Jamie Saunders, and David Sherwin  discuss the first day of 2018’s HOW Design Live in Boston.

Boston was great. I even spent a bit of time blogging for Neenah Paper while there:

In addition to the 3 recaps, over the next few months I’ll also be releasing six podcasts recorded while at HOW.

Enjoy.
