Rise of the Makers: Rethinking innovation and design

3D printing, wearable computing…the future is here! This fast paced talk looks at the rise of the Maker Culture, and how we can apply the hacking/making philosophies to solve design problems. There may be robots. And lasers.

Ruth Ellison is a principal user experience designer at Stamford. She’s fascinated about the interaction between digital and physical worlds. Ruth is a maker – in her spare time, she makes science based jewellery with lasers and plays around with 3D printers and wearable computing. She loves good inclusive design and robots.
