Brands influence us in every aspect of our lives, from the technology we crave, to the content we discover, to the way we share our take on the world. We’ve invited 3 mega brands: 163 year-old The New York Times, 30 year-old Apple and 3 years oldInstagram, to talk about how their design teams work everyday to make these connections seem effortless and essential to our daily lives.

SPEAKERS

RENDA MORTON | THE NEW YORK TIMES

My name is Renda Morton and I write my bios in the first person. I’m a product design lead for the The New York Times, where I’ve been working on a redesign of NYTimes.com. Previously, I founded and ran a small, multi-disciplinary design studio called Rumors, with my collaborators Holly Gressley and Andy Pressman. At Rumors we worked with publishers, museums and non-profit clients on projects for print, screen and the built environment. Before I moved to New York eight years ago, I worked on physical interactive media at a design studio called Lust in The Hauge, Netherlands. I have BFA in Interactive Media from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

He was an Associate Partner at Pentagram’s New York office before joining Apple’s global design group to lead cross-disciplinary teams on integrated projects and campaigns for print, interactive, interface, retail, and video. He recently left Apple and co-founded Small Stuff, a design studio based in New York.
