Simon Collison
Simon is a designer based in Nottingham, now in his sixth year with product studio Fictive Kin. An early web standards advocate, he's written several design books, spoken at events all over the world, and organised the much-missed New Adventures events. Simon is currently exploring the ways digital technology can have a beneficial impact on our happiness, particularly where it encourages us to go outside, discover nature, and helps broaden our knowledge of the world around us.
Talk: Somewhere Between Here and There...
Having spoken at the very first beyond tellerrand — and attended the second — Simon is no stranger to Düsseldorf. Now he's back again for our 5th birthday, to share his memories of our humble event and also reflect on everything that ever happened on the internet. Literally everything. Well, some of it. Maybe the web design part. He’s not sure yet.
