Simon has been working at the intersection of design and technology for twenty years. He was part of the startup team at now market-leading www.serif.com and co-founded Agenzia, an award-winning digital design agency who launched the online careers of influential British bands like the Libertines.
Since then Simon been a web freelancer for the likes of Sony. He’s now the creative director at London agency www.sonicdigital.co.uk and co-founder of a new online printing business.
Simon’s talk on the DRY (don’t repeat yourself) methodology shows how the DRY principles from software development can be used very effectively in wider design, business and even personal contexts.
The presentastion is for both technical people how the concepts they use can be applied in other areas and give non-technical people insight into development, along with a useful and practical methodology.
