The DuPuis Group, a Chicago based design and innovation agency.

Back in April I went out to Chicago to capture video at the FUSE Conference and a private party at their office. DuPuis invited a number of local artists to come, create live art at the party and immediately offer it up for auction. The DuPuis Campfire space above their offices was a perfect place for creativity, creation and conversation.

While I was in Chicago I had the chance to speak with Steven DuPuis about his approach to design thinking and try to distill his thoughts down to communicate his ideas in a short video.

In June I went to the DuPuis office in Ventura, CA where they recently relocated from L.A. I spoke with DuPuis President and Creative Director, John Silva, about how the environment of Ventura with it’s laid back lifestyle and intiment connection with farm-to-table food culture drives creativity.

Fun Stuff
Also in June, my parents retired and moved up to Reno. Since then we’ve spend a lot of time together, including this quick urban adventure to the top of the open-air climbing wall at Comm Row in downtown Reno with my dad. I put this video together with my GoPro camera in time lapse mode and video mode. Base Camp at CommRow is a great facility and i highly recommend a trip up the crag.

Also, all summer I’ve been working on the Collective Desk Concert Series at the Reno Collective. These are brief, small, short 3 song sets played live on Friday evenings here at the Reno Collective.
