Designer Q&A

The Loop is the new kid on the block in the online portfolio hosting space in Australia. It also gives companies searching for creative talent some innovative new ways to search. I recently interviewed The Loop co-founder Pip Jamieson to find out more about this fantastic new site, chat about taking the entrepreneurial leap, what creatives can do to market themselves or to land that dream job, plus lots more.

Design Droplets contributor Anna Lorenzetto recently conducted an interview with US based design researcher JooYoung Oh. JooYoung has extensive experience conducting design research for companies such as Dell, Whirlpool and Samsung. In the following two part interview and soon to be accompanying case study JooYoung speaks about the various aspects of Design Research including a definition, it’s benefits and the utilisation of stimuli in the research process. Other discussion points include co-designing, involving stakeholders in the research process and JooYoung speaking about her design practice. I hope you enjoy this interview and take the time to share your thoughts on the topics in the comments.
