DesignAday

My name is Jack Moffett. I am an Interaction Designer with over ten years of experience. According to Herb Simon, that makes me an expert, so I must have something worth sharing. I have started this venture as an exercise to spur critical thinking about my chosen profession. I hope that others may find it thought provoking as well.

DesignAday will present a brief thought about Design every weekday.

Real-World Research

This month, Gist Design will be hosting IxDA Pittsburgh and leading us in a unique, fun, and educational event.

Real-World Research

Designers know the benefits that design research provides in shaping good user experiences for products and services. But practicing effective design research for technology products  in the corporate environment (whether for start-ups or for international corporations), requires ingenuity, flexibility, and a sense of humor. Want to try your hand at it? Join Gist Design and other design colleagues for a collaborative game of “Real-World Research.” 

Date: Wednesday, October 21.
Time: 6:00pm
Location: Gist Design
33 Terminal Street, Suite 425B
(South Side)

Gist was founded in 2002 by John Beck and Shelley Moertel, two graduates of the masters programs at CMU. More recently, another CMU grad, Daniel Gloyd, who also happens to be an alumnus of the same undergraduate graphic design program that I hail from, joined them to open an office in Fort Worth, Texas. The firm specializes in design research, product and service planning, and user interface design, working with prominent clients in the mobile and medical markets.

If you’re in the area, you should plan to attend. It promises to be a worthwhile evening.
