On this special half-length episode of InFLUX, Savannah and Lara take over (again) to talk to Jen Bonnett, VP of the Savannah Economic Development Authority or SEDA. Jen and SEDA are a signature sponsor of this year’s StartUp event! We sat down to chat with Jen about her early career, SEDA as an agency and of course, StartUp! Since it was a short chat, we decided to release a special half-length episode, but don’t worry, we will be back next week with another full length episode and a pair of special guests.

On this special episode of inFLUX, Savannah and Lara take over to talk to Andrew Sibert, UX designer at Backbone. While at SCAD 6 years ago, Andrew founded STARTUP. This episode will dive into why he started it, the history of STARTUP and then move to the future with Savannah and Lara co-hosting this year. Outside of STARTUP talk, Savannah and Lara will talk to Andrew about his recent shift to Backbone, a company focused on mobile gaming, from his job at Google.

Welcome to the first episode of inFLUX! This episode is not only your introduction to this new show but gets straight into the action with our first guest.

On our very first episode, Nico and Varun interview the one and only Dane Galbraith, a recently graduated senior from the UX design department here at SCAD. He is the perfect candidate to be the first guest on the show because not only was Dane the president of FLUX last year, but he also hosted STARTUP 2019. Although now Dane works at Google, he is clearly a FLUX veteran.  Nico and Varun chat with him about what it's like working in the pandemic, graduating SCAD, and ended the episode by getting some recommendations for movies to watch and music to listen to.

Thank you for joining us on this journey.
