Nate Bugos, the curator of Design Feast, interviews designers. He chose me to be the first one and hopefully set the tone for the dozens of interviews he has done since.

Penned by John Christopher Jones, an Industrial Designer and Educator, “Design Methods” is a design-related book that I remain enamored of—especially curious about its never rising in awareness throughout the community of designers. Here, one of its top admirers, Adam Kallish, reasons how this proved to be the result.

Jim Jacoby & Jim Cohen interview Adam Kallish as part of their Design In The Moment series. Design, and specifically user-centered design, has evolved and will continue to evolve as producers try and keep pace with the needs of the consumer. From the advent of the industrial revolution to the impact that war plays on innovation and technology, Adam’s historical analysis definitely makes us think twice about how we’ve gotten to where we are today.

Launching the Imagination is one of the main textbooks for art foundations and is a major source of information on art and design concepts and techniques. As art and design has migrated to address methodologies and their articulation as a skill, Mary Stewart wanted to include in the book a section that focused on Problem Seeking and Problem Solving. This overview of design methods is customized for incoming freshman.

This is an interview about Adam Kallish's views on design in India when he was at the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad, India. Adam discusses his research interest in the history of the National Institute of Design and his visits to NID alumni around the sub-continent.
