From wearables and IoT, to apps and Responsive Web Design, the field of interaction design gets more complex each day. New materials and technologies allow our products to become smarter, faster and connected, all with the promise of improving our lives and communities. However, the more connected we become with our technology and products, the more disconnected we become with the people that matter most. Join Andy, Executive Creative Director at Favorite Medium, as he explores some of the challenges and opportunities product companies face in creating experiences that not only improve our lives, but respect us as well.

Andy has created award-winning interactive experiences and products for over fifteen years with some of the largest brands in the world, including Samsung, the Smithsonian Institution, Cartoon Network, Wenner Media, Lego, Steelcase and Abbott. He regularly takes on speaking engagements and lectures, something he realized he loved after working as an Adjunct Professor at the School of Visual Arts in their MFA program “Designer as Entrepreneur”.
