This August, we are thrilled to welcome information architect Kevin Hoffman. He’ll be joining us to talk about facilitating collaboration in remote teams. Lindsey Frost Cleary will be speaking about Mozilla’s involvement in the Chattanooga tech community.
I’ve spent most of my career as part of a team working in an office, making the web a little better each day. When starting my own company, however, one of my goals was to find ways to work with the people I looked up to… who had their own separate offices in different companies spread out all over the world. In order to get started, I had to think differently about a lot of things: my day, my network, my goals, and how I communicate. I’ve found that working together across the internets has a lot more to do with the ability to share a vision, and a lot less to do with which is the best digital video conference service.
Kevin M. Hoffman is an information architect and design strategist that has been building web stuff since 1995. He founded the distributed design network Seven Heads Design, a network of highly experienced digital design thinkers who operate independently, but love working together. Formerly he served as Experience Director for the award-winning web design agency Happy Cog. Drop him a line at Kevin’s website or on Twitter at @kevinmhoffman.

Code & Creativity is a social talk series created to connect us with each other and our larger community. Every other month, we’ll gather at the Camp House for a few hours to listen to one local and one visiting designer/developer as they share their passions, wisdom, and war stories. We'll ask questions, talk shop, and maybe even make some new friends. Of course no gathering would be complete without something yummy in your tummy, so snacks and a tasty beverage (coffee, soft drink, or beer) are on us!
