This week, we sit down with David Schwarz, the founder of HUSH, an innovative experience design studio. In a conversation that moves from the philosophical to the practical, we go deep into the challenges and opportunities for both clients and staff of working with a design studio with technology and innovation core, discuss the future of work and the state of sustainability in emerging tech, share thoughts some thoughts on the questionably popular term, ‘phygital’, and even get into a little parenting advice with David and Bobby. If you’ve ever been offered a ‘metaverse watch’ from a guy in a trenchcoat, you won’t want to miss this one.
