How Design Can Supercharge Your Business with Yves Béhar | Chase Jarvis LIVE

Yves is the founder of Fuseproject and one of the most influential industrial designers of our generation, having also lead teams at the iconic firms frog design and Lunar Design. His clients include Herman Miller, GE, Puma, Kodak, Samsung, Prada and a host of others, and pioneered the paradigm of designer/entrepreneur as the co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of smart lock company August and CCO at Jawbone. He’s also a passionate advocate for sustainability and social good, contributing to a variety of projects like One Laptop Per Child, Ver Bien para Aprender Mejor and the SPRING Accelerator program.
He’s been super influential in design, but also in business and culture as an advocate for design and designers having a seat at the table. If you’ve noticed design become much more highly prized in business over the last decade or so, he’s one of the people responsible for that shift in thinking- as he talks about in this episode, when he arrived in the Bay Area in the 90s design was seen as window dressing, but thanks to the efforts of people like Yves, IDEO, frog and their peers we now have a very different view of design and see it as integral to building a successful business.

It's always great to hear from such an established creative, their story from humble beginnings to successfully working through problems to continue to create and develop work that progresses their craft and themselves as an artist. We continue to look forward to these talk and videos, Chase!

Loving this one Chase. Even though I have chosen photography as my life goal, Design is playing a huge part in my life right now. Especially as I have been renovating my house, I don't buy anything now unless I know it goes with the overall aesthetic I am going for, even if its something as little as a spoon or whatever.
I have also come up with this concept I follow called "Neutral Design" which I am sure is a concept I'm just stealing off of someone else. But what that is is where not one single thing stands out above anything else within the design, so the aesthetic only works as an entirety rather then just one little part. Everything must flow and act as one.
I love that he has been with Herman Miller. I love their products.
