Manage episode 355378481 series 3242475
Summary
Wouldn’t it be nice to do every day for our careers the same thing that brought us joy when we were kids?
Keith Rich was able to do this by merging his creativity in the soccer field with his work in design and development to come up with solutions for people to use and enjoy throughout their day.
With his combined love for soccer and design, he’s created a unique career that allows him to be creative every day. He knows it’s important for people to enjoy their work, and he wants to help others find the same joy in their careers.
So check out this episode to learn more about design, development, design systems, OOUX, and why he uses “dev-ign” whenever he can.
About the Guest:
The "Midfielder" at Think Company, Keith Rich, is a versatile designer. His background in pharma advertising and service-oriented digital products, as well as his interdisciplinary skills, allow him to bridge gaps along the spectrum of design, but primarily between design and development. When prototyping new ideas, his mission is to create experiences and connections that enhance people's lives.
A few things have remained constant in his life: his love of soccer, design, and curiosity about technology's evolution. His earliest memories of design are making soccer wallpapers as a part of an online group of designers worldwide. Who would have thought he'd be doing every day for his career that same thing that brought him joy as a kid?
Over time that curiosity has led him to the world of front-end development and keeps him thinking about how things he designs representationally are technically built as a product for people to use. You'll understand why if he uses “dev-ign” in conversations.
“To feel satisfied in my life, I strive to exhibit efficient simplicity, creative curiosity, and caring collaboration in how I communicate with people, view the world, and create work in it.”
