In this episode of Snap Into It, we (okay, mostly Audrey) take you back to NeoCon, where we recorded conversations with innovators who saw a need and created solutions—showing the true power of design thinking. We kick things off with Kaylie Tucker of Kovergent Solutions, who developed Konsol, an extension designed to save users days of time when making cut sheets. We also caught up with the development team at Platinum Edge Solutions, including Bryan Thompson and Sierra Santoyo, to hear about their process. Next, Bryan Mayer of Mayer Fabrics joins Audrey to share insights on the Material Portal and introduce Mayer’s new vinyl fabric—a sustainable response to the challenges of traditional vinyl. Finally, Adam and Audrey team up to chat with Jason Lund, who created Aura, a tool that delivers the benefits of render acceleration without requiring expensive hardware. And yes—we recorded this one right in the fantastic SnapCab booth at NeoCon. For more information about our products, visit: http://www.configura.com
