Not that I want to make my readers believe that I’m having a bad day, the sun is shining, the tulips and tank tops are out… but general statements that influence the way my field is perceived on the market tend to make me react very strongly… I’m sure Tony Dunne didn’t necessarily intend it… Continue reading Killing me softly

Student's service design projects
The week is finally over and my student’s work was great! I invited them to post all of their service ideas online and will be updating this post with the links as time goes by. They also conducted a short interview, nothing none of you don’t already know. We didn’t really get to the core… Continue reading Student's service design projects
Interaction design semantic discussions

Sounds so artsy…… Continue reading Never mind interaction design, now it's all about "design interactions"
Dilution of a field
