Design & Thinking: A film about design thinking at PAIFF

My little town is having a film festival over the next couple days, and I noticed this movie on design called Design & Thinking. I included the description below, but it features folks design luminaries from IDEO, Smart Design, AIGA, the Stanford d.School, Jump, and many others. It also includes Bill Moggridge, a legend and designer of the first laptop computer, who recently passed. More info:

“Design & Thinking” is a documentary exploring the idea of “design thinking”!
How do we fully engage organizations to think about the changing landscape of business, culture and society? Inspired by design thinking, this documentary grabs businessman, designers, social change-makers and individuals to portrait what they have in common when facing this ambiguous 21st century. What is design thinking? How is it applied in business models? How are people changing the worldwith their own creative minds? It is a call to the conventional minds to change and collaborate.

Anyway, I thought I’d highlight it- if you’re not in Palo Alto, hopefully it’ll make its way to Hulu or Netflix shortly too. Tickets here. Other films at the festival here.

Thanks for the heads up. Interested in what you thought of the documentary?

It had some great moments, but it jumped around a lot- was a bit choppy. I definitely preferred Objectified, another documentary on the same kind of topic.

I would have much preferred a movie that zoomed into the prototyping and iteration process in architecture/film/furniture/etc. Anyway, still worth watching if you are a fan of design though.
