About
Danny Stillion, a Design Director and Associate Partner at IDEO, was drawn to the field of interaction design through his early interests in communication design, time-based media, and how people interact with products and services. His background is in fine arts, visual communication, and product design. Prior to joining us, Danny taught interactive media courses in higher education and consulted as an interaction designer. Today, he continues to mentor and learn from his colleagues in the context of projects that span various industries, including telecommunications, medicine, and vehicle telematics (automotive electronics).
