First off, I have no idea how my name is being said in the same sentence as Matt Dillon and Liz Dunn.  These two are pretty amazing entrepreneurs helping re-shape Seattle. That aside, I've been fortunate enough to get featured in a "I Am Small Business Proud" documentary and subsequent panel on entrepreneurship.  The panel will be with the aforementioned Matt Dillon, Liz Dunn, and myself this coming Wednesday, June 4th from 6:00pm to 9:00pm.  It'll be at the Sole Repair Shop at 1001 E. Pike Street in Seattle.  I don't quite know much about what I'll be saying but I'm rarely without much to say so I'm sure it'll be a sight to be seen at the very least.

It is totally free too so you won't have to pay to see me look like a crazy guy on stage.  That is probably priceless anyway, right?

Use Your Words (Even When You Can’t)

Even in a profession where we quite literally draw pictures to communicate, words are incredibly important, too. Use them carefully, and precisely to get the job done right, and don’t forget that words can communicate very differently if they are said out loud versus written down, and there’s a time and place for both.

Channeling Experience: Storytelling in the Spaces We Design

Although we humans have invented new ways of sharing knowledge beyond the sharing of stories to one other over the firepit, storytelling is a key part of our culture. (Who doesn’t love a good story?) But beyond the stories we tell out loud, there is storytelling in spaces we design, too.

Unlikely Inspiration: The Strange Journeys of the Creative Process

A lot of times, unlikely inspiration solves your problems. To non-designers, it may seem a little crazy, but just as any odd thing can remind you of something else entirely, for designers, that experience often triggers their brains about a project they are working on, taking them on a mental journey towards a design solution.
