In this episode, we're heading to the Salesforce Design Leadership Conference. Our creative department gathers every year for a full day of unique speakers. Design inspiration, storytelling, and learning about different artists and their craft are pivotal for all of us, whether or not we work in the creative field. The Salesforce Design Leadership Conference brings together some of the brightest minds for a day of pure inspiration. Hear from J Mays - former Chief Creative Officer at Ford Motor Company and former Design Director at Audi - as he dives in to how our early experiences shape our views on design. His insights show us how design can take us to many places, how stories make good design possible, and the power of spectrum thinking. Mays also explores how culture and history specifically shaped his automotive designs. Next, John Zissmos, former Chief Design Officer at Salesforce, sits down with Daniel Caudill, Creative Director at Shinola - a design-centric powerhouse that blossomed from a defunct shoe polish company in Detroit. Caudill discussed how Shinola established themselves as an iconic brand, while expanding the capacity — and reinvigorating the spirit — of manufacturing in America. It's a design story wrapped in hope and invention. One that will have you rooting for the company over and over. Finally, hear about the power of film editing - the ability to make subtle or bold changes that shape or reshape a film’s narrative. Academy Award-winning film editor Lisa Fruchtman, discusses how she weeded through mountains of raw celluloid to give us some of movie history’s most iconic films like "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now". Discover what past films influenced her most, and why the best editors make their changes seem effortless, even invisible.
