In this episode, our hosts Nisha Agrawal and Diego Pulido share their conversations with previous Interaction Awards winners.

Nisha talks to Darren David, CEO of Stimulant in San Francisco, who won 2 Interaction Awards in 2012: one in the “Expressing” category, and the other for “Best in Show” with LoopLoop: an interactive music toy for Sifteo Cubes

Diego talks with Kirsten Southwell, creative director of the Art Institute of Chicago, who was an Interaction Awards finalist in 2013 for “Rehearsal”: an app concept for practicing musicians.

Darren and Kirsten share their memories of what it was like to submit their project; what it felt like to have their project short-listed; and the impact being recognized at the Interaction Awards has had on their careers.
