    2. Hi. I’m Jason. Here’s my portfolio.
    3. Today’s talk in 3 parts How do we take context into account when designing experiences that take place in physical and digital spaces? How does context inform our practice and day to day culture? Some aspirational crap you can mock me for at a bar later

    23. Along the way I’d acquired team members, partners, + clients, but there was something missing.
    24. Who am I? Who are we? We can’t agree on a definition of what we do, though our job is often to define and label other domains. We can’t differentiate ourselves from interaction designers or usability professionals without utterly confusing the lay person. As a community, we debate these things amongst ourselves semi-annually. Why? We’re willing to accept the oddest of jobs dealing with people and how they use technology to manipulate and retrieve information. It doesn’t give us firm ground to stand on.
    25. What do
    26. It Leaves Us Feeling Defensive “ Go for quick learning generalists over ingrained specialists. We’ll “never hire someone who’s an information architect. It’s just too overly specific. With a small team like ours, it doesn’t make sense to hire people with such a narrowly defined skill-set. 1 March 2006 ” ”
    27. Our Thinking About This Has Become Way Too Uptight
    28. Let me suggest we are Bricoleurs It has come to mean one who works with his hands, usually in devious or \"crafty\" ways when compared to the true craftsman, whom Levi-Strauss equates with the Engineer. The Bricoleur is adept at many tasks and at putting preexisting things together in new ways. The Engineer deals with projects in their entirety, taking into account the availability of materials and tools required. The Bricoleur approximates the mind of \"the savage mind\" and the Engineer approximates the scientific mind. Levi-Strauss says that the universe of the Bricoleur is closed, and he is often forced to make do with whatever is at hand, whereas the universe of the Engineer is open in that he is able to create new tools and materials.
    29. So when I say IA, you mean... So when we say Information Architect, Fried says designer, and we both mean bricoleurs. The difference is the context in which we perform our work, but the result is the same: We derive intuitive, learnable, efficient patterns of human activity for addressing the problems of chaotic, analog life.
    30. “Be so good that they can’t ignore you.” - Steve Martin
