Internship at NONOBJECT

I have been fortunate enough to intern at NONOBJECT this summer, spending my days working on some very exciting projects. NONOBJECT is not like any other design consultancy, with their own design philosophy set in stone by Branko Lukic:

Our focus is not just the perfect design solution but the charged space between the user and the product. The intangible space that defines the experience and enables deeper connections.

To educate others on this philosophy, NONOBJECT has published their own book as well as an iPad app. This way of thinking resonates strongly with me. Design should always solve problems for the user, but the powerful nature of design lies in affecting your emotions. NONOBJECT is influencing my perception of design in a very positive manner, constantly focusing on providing amazing experiences for the user. As well as a philosophical nurturing, working at NONOBJECT provides me with valuable hands on experience participating in the product development from start to finish. I am thoroughly enjoying my time at NONOBJECT. Palo Alto, Silicon Valley and the Bay Area is truly a place to prosper.
