ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS
Duane Bray
As a partner at IDEO, Duane heads the firm’s global Digital Experiences practice, with a focus on new media and entertainment. Duane joined IDEO in 1995 to lead and develop the discipline of interaction design, now one of the firm’s most sought-after capabilities. With a background in communication design and interaction design, his experience includes the development of major software and hardware programs and the integration of emerging technologies into human-centered products and services. To further the increasing crossover between technology and lifestyle companies, Duane explores the intersection of technology and people, revealing and elevating the emotional connections that people forge with digital media. Duane holds an MFA from the University of Florida and was given an Outstanding Achievement Award as a prestigious alumnus.
Ryan Jacoby
Ryan, an associate partner, is passionate about applying design thinking to business strategies for growth. Ryan helps lead IDEO’s design for business efforts and coordinates knowledge sharing and tool development across all of IDEO’s business factors practitioners. Although he has an MBA and an engineering degree, Ryan is most proud of being referred to as the “prototype graduate” from Stanford’s Hasso Plattner Institute of Design. While at IDEO, Ryan has led or worked on an array of projects in such areas as food and beverage, athletics and apparel, electronic gaming, financial services, and telecommunications. At least one of these projects has had a lasting effect—leading a running project has transformed Ryan into a runner.
