For our first episode in our Faces of Innovation series, we spoke with Abram Sirignano, Senior Partner at Prophet: a digitally-powered, creatively-inspired consultancy. A “ lifelong detective”, Abram thinks about why people think, feel, and act the way they do, to help clients find uncommon ways to connect business strategy to the creation of experience. We wanted to get a sense of Abram’s journey and how he sees the design and innovation space evolving. He left college early to pursue his dreams and talents. So if you, too, wish to follow a non-traditional path to success, Abram’s story is also one you can share with your understandably concerned parents.
