In this episode of Designing Futures, Angela is joined by long-time friend Howard Nuk, creative leader, entrepreneur, board advisor, and co-founder of the new Palm.
He shares stories about taking on new challenges, launching new products, rebranding and running his company, and learning from the best in various design disciplines. Howard discusses the importance of keeping a balance between following one's passion for inspiring the world and understanding users and their experiences, developing and reporting back to them as product designers.
Howard Nuk co-founded the San Francisco-based startup Palm Ventures Group with a mission to disrupt the mobile industry and re-invent the Palm brand. In November of 2018, they launched the new Palm and the world’s first companion smartphone (also named Palm) with exclusive partner, Verizon.
Prior to Palm, Howard was Vice President of Design at Samsung Design America and Vice President of Industrial Design at Ammunition.
Howard also shares a story of his own company called Palm Ventures, a San Francisco-based startup company with a mission to disrupt the mobile industry and re-invent the Palm brand, known as a tiny smartphone and earbuds. He talks about the difficulties of being a product designer and leading the company as a co-founder at the same time.
“The world benefits from people like us taking on risks and challenges because we’re the types of people who are designing the next world for everyone.”
