Matt Balara Interviews Me

Back in Copenhagen at Reboot, Matt Balara (now a contributor here at /Message) pulled me into his series “What’s Design Mean To You?”, and he posted the video today at his mattbalara.com blog. I think I do a fairly good job describing the remedial sort of (re)design that I do a lot of the time. People generally get the basic ‘clean piece of paper’ sort of design that I put into Nerdvana or Workstreamer.

I was fascinated to learn that people don’t know what I do:

Funnily enough, a number of people at Reboot asked me, “what exactly does Stowe do?” Admittedly, I didn’t really know exactly either. He explains it quite well in the interview.

And what’s Stowe’s take on design?

It’s the laying out of processes or models that represent some thing that’s going to be built or manufactured.
