DESIGNSPEAKS

Let’s talk shop

Designspeaks exists not to pat backs or inflate egos, but to invite discussion or encourage dissent. If a few people become inspired along the way, so much the better. We’ve hosted Stanley Hainsworth (Starbucks, Lego), had Jeff Faulkner (Microsoft) speak in a planetarium, and lead a spit swap between Seattle and Portland with two events in 48 hours. Past events have included Steve Sandstrom (Levi’s, Tazo), Jelly Helm (Nike, Timbers), Aaron Draplin (North Face, Burton), and Instrument (Google), among too many others to list here.
