Women in Design Deep Dive Event
Earlier this month Tactile had the honor of sponsoring IDSA’s Women in Design Deep Dive in San Francisco. It was an incredible event listening to strong, talented women tell their stories about the struggles and accomplishments of working in an industry historically and predominantly inhabited by men. We look forward to continued progress for women in not only design but all industries. Let’s hear it for the ladies!

Anne Focke Arts Leadership Award
Last month Tactile proudly sponsored the Anne Focke Arts Leadership Award event offered by the School of Art + Art History + Design at the University of Washington to recognize individuals who pave the way for art, art history, or design to enliven and strengthen the community through their visionary and active leadership. This year we celebrated Steve Kaneko, an FIDSA, an alum of the School of Art + Art History + Design, and a Partner Director of Design at Microsoft. Winner of over 50 international design awards, Steve’s design of the Microsoft Mouse 2.0 is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He’s an avid supporter of emerging talent, providing pathways for growth to generations of young designers. Congrats Steve!

Tactile Opens New Studio in Boston
Today, Tactile is proud to announce we’ve opened a new studio in Boston, Massachusetts. The studio will be led by newly appointed, VP of Design, Rich Hanks. A Massachusetts native, Rich has been a Design Director in the Seattle studio for the past six years and prior to joining Tactile, he worked in-house at Microsoft and Motorola. Why Boston? We specialize in designing tools for professionals in the medical and industrial product industries, so Boston seemed to be the right fit for us to open an additional design studio. Tactile brings a multidisciplinary design approach made up of industrial design, interaction design, and mechanical engineering to the East Coast. Our new studio gets us closer to our current partnerships and gives us an opportunity to connect with the growing Medtech innovation community in Boston. Interested in learning more about Tactile and our new studio? Give us a shout and we’d love to meet up!
