I joined IDEO straight out of University after meeting head of Interaction Design, Steve O'Conner at the New Designers exhibition after graduation.
As a young, naive designer; I was incredibly grateful of IDEO's willingness to throw me straight into projects. When I talk about this time to designers just entering the market, I recall my first day being upside in a car foot well installing raspberry Pi's into a selection of cars for testing.
I barely have any photos of this time, I think I was a bit to engrossed in it all to document it. There’s some in the projects!
I don’t think anyone could ask for a better first Design job, honestly, it’s spoiled me for life.
