opmlSwitching to Tumblr
I'm switching over to Tumblr. The new location is http://designinginnovations.tumblr.com/. Tumblr's "snippet" format better fits the amount of time I've got to apply to this and is cleaner and faster. I'm describing it as "design, innovation and ...
Design Problem: Recyclable Sticky Note
Did you know PostIt notes can't be recycled? I didn't. Apparently the sticky part gums up paper recycling equipment and the typically bright colored paper isn't so good for making recycled paper.This looks like a great design problem for someone t...
Who owns design?
If you aren't reading "Campbell on Branding on Innovation" add it to your feed reader now. Jon Campbell is just starting out in the Master of Design Methods program at IIT Institute of Design and his blog records his experience. Today's post "Who...
California Envy

I work around the corner from the New York Times building and they just put up the new "Times" sign on the front of the building a few weeks back. Turns out Pentagram designed the sign. Looking at it, it seems so simple, it's hard to imagine a des...

“If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes.”
Your Product Is Your Brand
No amount of fancy advertising can hide actual consumer experience of a brand. Your offering is your brand. Here's an example of what's going on at Delta Airlines.This was posted this morning and now has 25,000 views. I would not be surprised if D...
What Killed 3M?
So, first, let's understand that 3M is not dead. The recent Business Week (is that all I read? No, it only seems that way.) article about how innovation was nearly killed off by James McNerney and his implementation of Six Sigma has been getting a...
