Hi All,
frog design is hosting an evening event featuring Jan Chipchase's work
on mobile money in Afghanistan (http://janchipchase.com/). If you are
interested in designing for emerging markets, design research, mobile
usage, mobile banking, or photo journalism, you should attend. Jan is
a very engaging speaker and joined frog from Nokia where he researched
mobile usage globally. He leads our design research practice and is
in the process of transforming it in an exciting way.
This is an invite-only event. If you are interested in attending, let
me know by Thursday 1/27 and I can add you to the invitation list
(send: name, company, email). See below for details.
Scaling the Mobile Frontier
Thursday,
February 24th, 6:30-8pm
frog design, 660 Third Street, 4th Floor, San
Francisco
There are 5 billion active cell phone subscriptions in the
world. Regardless of language or literacy barriers, people are well versed in
the use of mobile. Through the widespread adoption of mobile phones, people in
the world’s poorest regions are able to improve their sense of identity,
restore their dignity, and achieve autonomy through the creation of
secondary currencies.
If the huge success of Safaricom’s M-PESA money transfer service in Kenya is
any indication, cell-phone banking will improve financial inclusion, and
continue to alter the financial landscape for the developing world. What can we
learn from the rise of this mobile service that can spur new
innovations in industries
that haven’t yet tapped into mobile technologies?
Join frog design for an evening to discuss the future of
mobile money where Dr. Bill Maurer, Professor of Anthropology and Law at the
University of California, Irvine, will examine the collision of mobile and
money and the implications on design and business. frog’s Executive Creative
Director Jan Chipchase will reveal the findings of his recent field
research trip
to Afghanistan to look at mobile banking and how it can pave the way for new
innovations in mobile design and the user experience beyond emerging
markets. Jan will share his new book Notes from the Field that
visually chronicles his research journey.
