Design Within Reach: A Podcast Interview with Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO

Adaptive Path’s own Brandon Schauer recently got the chance to talk with Tim Brown about adventures in prototyping, the self-publishing implications of Time Magazine’s recent Person of the Year award (heads-up: the trophy goes to YOU!), his innovative work with the non-profit Acumen Fund, and the rainbow of know-how it takes to make a good design manager these days.

Tune in to the podcast, then sign up to see Tim in person as he kicks off day two of Adaptive Path’s upcoming MX conference in San Francisco.

Ryan Freitas Heats Up the Internet-o-sphere

It’s been a star-spangled month for Adaptive Path senior action designer Ryan Freitas, between his face-to-face meeting with Bill Gates and his Facilitating Collaboration talk hitting the charts as one of the Top 10 Most Downloaded IT Conversations.

For more about the man behind the all the moving and shaking, check out Ryan’s AP bio and bibliography.
