Working with the Instructional Education Team at Adobe Systems Inc., I created wireframe illustrations to aid in the iterative development of the new Support Hub information architecture. The hybrid wireframe illustrations enabled the organization of a complex matrix of new and existing help assets. Weekly updates and enhancements were instrumental in communicating site content and design to executive leadership and making progress toward the goal of greater customer success at launch.

Interview with Michael Askin, an artist who creates cities in miniature. “The other thing about the miniature landscapes was that they tended to draw me in in a most narcotic way. Building a landscape, I existed in its separate space for the duration.”
Professor Munakata with Ancient Japanese Treasures and the Sutton Hoo Helmet
Jake and Dinos Chapman, Hell (2008).
Interview with archaeologist Rosemary Joyce on what attracted her to working with figurines. “Identification with a projected universal humanity I think is a first hook, combined with the way that they prompt narratives.”
Interview with performance artist and figurine fanatic Shaun Caton. “If dolls are a form of idol, the strangeness and the uniqueness of prehistoric figurines have always been present in my psyche. I first became aware of them as a child visiting museums (vast repositories of lost memories) and viewing them in sparkling glass vitrines.”

Reflections on Design Thinking
This book was distilled from the feedback of students in the 2011–2012 Design for Service Innovation (DSI) course at Stanford Graduate School of Business and its DSI fellows. The book design is intended to encourage students, by giving them a supportive and friendly framework through which to progress, as they and their team grapple with appyling their abilites to research, problem solve and produce coordinated effort to solve assigned real world challenges.

In 2010, Stanford University was awarded a grant from the National Institutes of Health (1 RC4 TW008781–01) to align and better integrate global health-related activities taking place across campus by creating a Consortium for Innovation, Design, Evaluation, and Action. The C-IDEA grant, as it was known, involved the following key players at the university:
• Center for Innovation in Global Health
• Program in Healthcare Innovation
• SPARK Drug & Diagnostic Discovery Program
• Stanford Biodesign
• Design for Extreme Affordability
• Stanford Health Policy
• The Program on Liberation Technology
As part of this multi-disciplinary effort, Stanford Graduate School of Business initiated the qualitative research study that resulted in the creation of this guidebook, as well as the series of case studies upon which it is based. Jean Zambelli led the development of the design concept for the guidebook. Lyn Denend led research and editorial for the project. Stefanos Zenios was the faculty sponsor. The guidebook is used as a tool for Stanford Graduate School of Business students to help make the intimidating and complex process of Global Healthcare Innovation more approachable, with a friendly step-by-step process supported by real-world experiences from innovators in the field.
