Ben and Kingsley are among those great doers who also share their knowledge and experience. They kindly accepted our invitation to be part of Filter Design Competition, help give feedback to the participants and hold one of those really funny and inspirational workshops. Just as they kindly accepted our podcast invitation, and answered all the questions we’ve been bugging them with, even though they were very tired.
They’re founders of the Design Conspiracy, which started as the dream of some college friends to do cool stuff. To "create intrigue and provoke reaction", which is an aim anybody working in our industry should have, in my opinion. We talked about how they started, and how they currently manage the tension between being friends and colleagues, about the company’s great policies, about handling a small firm which is growing. And of course, we’ve also asked them about their projects.
And of course, we talked about design in general, how it feels like to be a designer, measuring effectiveness in design, user generated content, design being the new management consultancy and sustainable design. Actually, we’ve talked about so many things, that it would be better to just download and listen to the conversation.
Cause we’ve even spoken about Kingsley’s musical career, as part of a band called Passarella Death Squad. And you can listen to samples of their work in the second part of this episode, as well as on their myspace page.
We enjoyed doing this podcast a lot, because the guys are not only brilliant, but also extremely open, funny, and modest. Hope you enjoy it as well.
The fact that our podcasts are more like free conversations than actual organized interviews is quite clear, and this time Cosmin also joined us. Also thanks to Radu for featuring in the second part of the podcast.
