Golan Levin on software (as) art. Golan Levin makes art that looks back at you. Todd Simmons » MBA Projects. In the St. Edward’s Digital Media MBA program, I learned about a range of traditional business concepts and their application in a digital context. For example, our Project Management class was heavily focused on overseeing video game development. And our many marketing classes examined in detail the effects of social media and online communities in developing successful campaigns. In addition, we had entire classes about disruptive innovation, digital law, entertainment media, and information systems. An overarching goal of the program was to prepare us to lead businesses in a rapidly changing digital environment. Marketing Market Research — For our Marketing Research class, we designed and conducted surveys and interviews on a topic relevant to a digital media industry.

Project Management Project Plan — For our Project Management class, we were required to develop a project plan for a large, complex digital media project. Entrepreneurship Finance/Accounting Research/Analysis. Curator: Zoe Ryan. Ryan’s pedigree includes stints with the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Van Alen Institute, but since 2006 she’s been ensconced at the Art Institute of Chicago as the Neville Bryan Curator of Design. In addition to curating a pair of shows dedicated to the work of Konstantin Grcic and the design consultancy Graphic Thought Facility, Ryan is also hard at work building the Art Institute’s first collection of contemporary design. “We’re actually working in reverse chronology to build the collection,” she says. “We’re collecting design from the last five years and then filling in as we find the precedents.”

That commitment to the Campanas over Corbu has stood Ryan in good stead in the contemporary scene, and her next show—–Hyperlinks, set to open December 11—–embraces the increasing overlap between the creation of spaces, products, signage, and buildings. “Shows are never about a single work,” Ryan says. “They’re about the relationships between them all.

Donaldson-Design for Sustained Development. Talented designers developing innovative and affordable products are often not enough to sustainably reduce poverty in less industrialized economies.

In East African manufacturing firms, for example, efficiencies and levels of quality are negatively impacted by tribalism, corruption, inadequate inputs and dilapidated infrastructures, among other factors. Understanding the local conditions, needs and environment are vital to the success and sustainability of any technology project aimed at promoting development in less industrialized economies.

My research focuses on how appropriate product and engineering design and design thinking can promote improved standards of living, particularly in less industrialized economies. I believe in strengthening local technical capacity so that societies can sustainably meet their own needs. K.M. K.M. K.M. K.M. K.M. K.M.
