intersection of pdx energy :: today

Great intersection of Portland energy, great work + workplace, smart thinking. Last week I visited IDBranding and saw wonderful things happening in a beautiful space.Their sense of brand culture thinking and working to show that in all content is impressive.

Today, I'll swing by MUTT Industries and see how a    startup with all the potential in the world works on a November Monday. Mutt got me early on with their scrappy approach and beautiful work. Even their opening page shows their humor and sense of who they are.

More intersection :: I'm teaching the Strategic Creativity course for our Master's cohort and we're hearing tonight from the Oregon Humanities and the new message and identity created by the inimitable Jelly Helm.

Look at the latest video on The Power of an Idea:

Finally our cohort will talk about Neumeier's The Designful Company How to Build a Culture of Nonstop Innovation. Bright manifesto on how design and innovation should skewer through all parts of the company. Not easy work, but when it happens...wow. And it all comes together.
