HOW Design Live 2017, Conference Recap 1 of 4 : Justin Ahrens, Mike Joosse, Sabine Lenz, Mike Miller, Christine Taylor

HOW Design Live Recap Podcast

Justin Ahrens (Rule29 and Wheels4Water), Mike Joosse (Designation Labs), Sabine Lenz (PaperSpecs), Mike Miller, and Christine Taylor (Hallmark and POPMinded) discuss the first day of 2017’s HOW Design Live in Chicago.

I still can’t believe this was recorded six days ago. For those who’ve been to HOW, you know that once returning to your regular schedule a few days later that there is a weird feeling of that first day. In some ways, it feels like it happened just hours ago – while at the same time feeling like a month away.

I wrote a few blog posts documenting the trip for Neenah Paper again this year if you want to also see recaps in written and photo form:

And of course, I did some podcasting while in Chicago. In the following days I have three more daily recaps to post, followed by seven interview podcasts that will go out over the next few months. I think I ended up with a great lineup of guests over the week, including two AIGA Medalists (one on a recap, one as a full show).

Thanks again for listening! Enjoy.

Justin Ahrens: The Reflex Blue Show #165

Justin Ahrens – The Reflex Blue Show

Justin Ahrens of Rule29, one of my favorite guests, joins the Reflex Blue Show to discuss his Design Of podcast, Wheels 4 Water, Designing for Good, AIGA (Justin just joined the National Board), and the coming up way too soon and yet not soon enough HOW Design Live 2017 in Chicago (where he will once again be a speaker).

One of my favorite things about recording this show has been the ability to get to talk with some really great guests, and a lot of them. Somehow or another, Justin has been the only person, other than myself, to make at least one appearance on every season we’ve had, so I thank him for his availability, willingness, and ability to be able to talk about such a wide variety of design topics over the years.

And when it comes to things that seemed to have come along way too soon, I guess this is the beginning of our tenth(!) season of The Reflex Blue Show. Along with the two-plus seasons of The Be A Cast we did before this, November marked eleven years of podcasting – hard to fathom that when Nate Voss, Tom Nemitz, and I first launched that episode back in 2005 – but the calendar keeps moving.

And, a huge thanks to Cody Fenske for designing the podcast all new artwork for Season 10 (and as in the past, it may last a season or two more). He also designed some stickers (you know we love stickers around here) for the occasion, so if you see me throughout the year, be sure to ask for one.

Enjoy.

HOW Design Live 2016, Recap 1 of 4: The Reflex Blue Show Conference Special

HOW Design Live in Atlanta may have been a week ago, but it’s finally starting to settle in how much actually happened. It always amazes me that it really takes a few days after getting back from an event like this to process and realize what all happened. It probably helps that I record a decent amount while at the event, as it also gives me another chance to re-listen to what all was going on.

The night before the event started, I got together with a small group for barbecue, and did a pre-conference recording. Thanks to Justin Ahrens, Blair Brady, Von Glitschka, Stefan Mumaw, Matt Porter, Jamie Saunders, and Jamie Sims for chatting on this episode.

And thanks again to Neenah Paper for having me blog from the conference for them (read my posts here).

HOW Design Live 2014 - Boston, MA - Recap 1

Has is already been a week since I arrived at HOW Design Live in Boston? With the first of our three recaps (this one recorded on Tuesday, May 13th), I interview a few attendees, sponsors, and speakers during the opening reception.

First, big thanks to Neenah Paper for having me out to blog from the conference again (read my reports here), and for letting me use their booth to record from.

Hopefully we captured part of the excitement that is HOW with guests Bennett Holzworth, Justin Ahrens, Jamie Saunders, and Andy Epstein. We’ll be back tomorrow with our second recap. Enjoy.
