Interaction10


Thursday, February 4, 2010
Written by Kicker

We’re at Interaction10, the annual interaction design conference, sponsored by the Interaction Design Association. This year, it’s a bit of a family affair as all three of the Kicker principals are involved: Jennifer is co-chair of the whole event and has been working on it for a year now; Jody is curating an exhibit of interactive art; and Dan is teaching a workshop on brainstorming and design principles.

Tonight we’re also hosting the Kicker Kickoff Party, to be held in the haunted beer cellar of Moon River Brewing Company from 8-11. If you’re attending the conference, we hope you’ll stop by.

We’ll be posting notes from the conference on the Kicker blog, so stay tuned!

Think you have what it takes to be a Kicker? We’re looking to add a project manager to our staff. We need someone who is organized, has experience with budgeting and scheduling, can manage multiple clients, vendors, and projects (and us), has a cool head and a sense of humor. Bonuses: device or software experience, like dogs and indie pop music.

Send us a cover letter, salary requirements, and resume to jobs [at] kickerstudio [dot] com.

The position is in San Francisco (where our office is). Because our work is so collaborative, locals only please. Some occasional travel necessary. Benefits and very decent vacation package. Casual, fun workplace environment.

Who we are: Kicker Studio is a design consultancy that turns the technology of tomorrow into the products of today. We’re a boutique studio that combines visionary design with real-world results to create the best products in the world.
