Build 2013

I spent last week in (not so) sunny Belfast, N. Ireland for the last ever Build Conference. As defined on their website, "Build is a design festival for web designers". The majority of the week is spent talking shop with designers and appreciators of the craft, but the main event is a day long series of talks from industry leaders.

The Talks

A few talks that stood out to me were from David Cole, Paul Soulellis, Jason Scott & Frank Chimero.

David Cole

David presented how he arrived at his definition of product design. David argued that "Designers are in the business of invention". He continues by talking about how designers can innovate conceptually.
