KMDI Alumni Talk: Dave Gillis from Teehan+Lax

Today is the first talk in the KMDI alumni series, who is Dave Gillis from Teehan+Lax. Dave is a user interaction designer who graduated from the KMDI Collaborative program in 2005 and is talking about what he does at Teehan+Lax and how his education in the KMDI Collaborative Program helped him in his work today. Participatory design and user-centered design are some of the primary design methodologies that he uses in his work. Corporate clients don't really use or value user-centered design. When working with clients, you have to avoid using technical and design jargon and simplify the language.
