Adaptive Path Blog

You probably don’t click over to our About Us page, but you may have noticed some new voices here on the blog. Since May, we’ve added a slew of people to our team, but we’ve been negligent in introducing them. Here they are, roughly in the order they joined us.

Robert Kinyon and Gina Crescenti both started as temps, quickly became integral, and, thankfully, stayed on. They are the behind-the-scenes duo here at Adaptive Path — their efforts have lead to establishing a work environment that supports amazing creativity.

Todd Wilkens came to us after wisely deciding to forego a Ph.D. in sociology. He brings a passion for understanding people as people, and how that can influence design decisions. Clearly there’s something wrong with him, as he worked with me at Epinions, and you’d think he’d know better by now.

When Jeff left, we needed a new tall person. Andrew Crow signed on after a lengthy stint at Princess Cruises. At Princess, Andy successfully lead a wholesale change to the site experience, working to help the entire organization understand the importance of a new design that responded to user’s needs.

Boris Chen leads our new business development efforts. We’re fortunate to have someone in this role with such deep experience in user-centered design practices. He also rocks the gold chain like no one else in the office.

Henning Fischer worked with us last year as a summer associate (cough-intern-cough), and, well, we must have done something right, because when he graduated from the Institute of Design last May, he opted to return. Henning’s contributes penetrating insights on the intersection of design and business, and has one of the strongest b.s. detectors in the office. You might see him cycling in the Headlands.

Sarah Nelson was an int– err, summer associate this past summer, and decided, to heck with it, I’m not going back to school. She brings extensive experience in interactive media, and an intense interest in how creative organizations work. She draws on-the-fly mindmaps like nobody else.

Rachel Hinman is so new we don’t have a page for her yet. She left Yahoo! Mobile to join our team. In the olden days of Web 1.0, she worked with both Jesse and myself. She then went back to school, and discovered her passion in conducting user research and developing insights from what she observed. Her favorite gemstone is garnet.
