What’s Design Mean to You? Interview with Andy Budd

The second in this series is Andy Budd, user experience director at clearleft in Brighton, England.

The microphone on my flip video camera could be better, so I apologise for the windy sound quality. And I was still getting used to video interviews, so I apologise also to Andy for cutting half his face off through much of the interview.

It’s totally off-topic, but I have to admit my favourite quote was this one:

People have suggested that being able to wrangle sharks is actually quite good when dealing with clients…

I interviewed eleven smart people at Reboot10 in Copenhagen, Denmark, asking the same question: what’s design mean to you? This is the second video in the series. The last two, Kars Alfrink and Thomas Vander Wal, should be up tomorrow.

    Sure Clive, no problem! Glad you’re enjoying the videos.

  3. Matt, Great interviews.

    Since we experienced a tiny technical glitch during our interview together, here’s my two cents on what design means.

    Watching the different interviews, defining design is like defining what art is. There seems to be a wide perspective on this and rightfully so. It comes down to experience of the creator and the user. Ultimately it’s through our experiences how we relate to design.

    For example, as a creative communication company, at Chama, we see design in two folds: one, how it works. And two, how it communicates.

    Good luck in Australia!
