Knoed at First Round
Speaking Event
Back in September 2019, Knoed was invited to present at the First Round Conference in Chicago. First Round is a one-day showcase hosted by Armin Vit and Bryony Gomez-Palacio (UnderConsideration). Speakers shared their first-round presentation process by showing the original PDF/Keynote/PPT file that they presented to a client the very first time they saw a range of design explorations (or a single design exploration). This was a unique opportunity to teach other designers how present their work and get their best work implemented.
Knoed spoke alongside other top Chicago designers:
Nick Adam (Thirst)
J. Brad Sturm, Cheryl Towler Weese and Meredith Barone (Studio Blue)
Adrian Mendez (Rule29)
Nermin Moufti and Kristin Lueke (Firebelly)
Daniel Garcia (Daniel Garcia Design)
Joseph Michael Essex (Essex Two)
David Sieren (One Design Company)
Eileen Tjan and Kate Doyle (Other)
Renata Graw (Normal)
Thom Wolfe (VSA Partners)
Alisa Wolfson (Leo Burnett)
