Join us for insights and inspiration as two thought leaders engage in some friendly verbal sparring to compare and contrast their unique disciplinary viewpoints on design, HCI, and user experience.

Joe Ballay is a nationally known industrial designer and Founder and Principal of MAYA Design, a design consultancy and technology research lab in Pittsburgh, PA. He is also a senior faculty member in the Department of Design at Carnegie Mellon University. As the head of the department, Joe was instrumental in orienting CMU's design programs toward integrating high technology with traditional graphic and industrial design.

He has been associated with several large research efforts (Classroom 2000, the Aware Home, and information technologies for autism) and has consulted in the development of commercialized versions of his research.
