I’m thrilled & humbled to announce that John Maeda, the President of Rhode Island School Of Design, Author of The Laws of Simplicity, MIT Media labber and all around amazing Design Thinker has joined Quirky’s Board of Directors.
John is one of the most respected and influential dudes in the design world, and we’re excited to have him teach us, guide us, and help us build Quirky.
To give you a taste of some of the endless supply of John Maeda’s wisdom and knowledge… Here’s a recent talk he gave at Behance’s 99% Conference.
Please join me in welcoming John to the Board!

Quirky is so luck to have such a genius on board. He is so much smarter than most everybody that he’s bound to have a profound effect on, um, well all those ten dollar suggestions. Just think of it, in a matter of months you’ll be so much smarter than you were before. Pure magic is what it is.

See now that’s what I’m talking about!
To think that John will be adding to his voice to ideas that we might think up, and that we get a chance to be part of it all, the products the processes and the creativity, all the way from the other side of the world..
Yep I’ll put up with Ben’s lousy fake Aussie accent for a bit longer I think.

Great job Quirky. Listening to him speak was like having someone pull thoughts from my brain. I can’t wait to see what his influence will bring to quirky.

Welcome to the area, here’s hoping your “maybe” attitude catches on , your handle about anger is infectious, your advice on negativity takes hold in the comment platform and the respect of an artist’s creation is compassionately tolerated by all.

Very interesting! I will never take guilty feeling for granted again. I will embrace the fact that if it were not for our struggling we would never accomplish our dreams. Thanks to John and the lady in the elevator.
