Plug and Play

Designer? Developer? Maker? Who cares? More and more it’s getting harder to describe someone who makes things in the 21st Century. To Brendan Dawes a modern day designer can be equally comfortable creating a CRON job on the server as easily as creating a baseline grid. In this session Brendan Dawes takes you through his approach to making things; things made for himself as well as things made for clients, often sharing the same question – “how the hell am I going to make that?” From hardware to software and everything in-between Brendan shows how curiosity and a thirst to learn new things drives him on to become a better maker of things.
