This years IDEA2010 Conference by The Information Architecture Institute will be in Philadelphia.

I am fortunate to be working with @yoni, @russu, @mleis, @Abby_the_IA, @mediajunkie, @inkblurt and @semanticwill on this years materials.

You should follow all the fun via Twitter on your favorite device @IDEAinfo.

Awhile back I had the opportunity to participate on a small level by providing creative for a pet project of some of the finest practitioners in the IA/UX field. This group got together to make a difference for a micro-loan initiative called Lend4Heatlh.

Gabby Hon provided the strategy, creative brief and personas for Russ Unger, Todd Zaki Warfel, Will Evans and Fred Beecher to solve the design challenges for Lend4Health's needs.

I was very fortunate to give Russ a hand with the creative execution of his hard, thoughtful solutions. You can read the full back story by Russ. View the great time-lapse video of his efforts.

I would especially like to thank Suzanna for her brilliance and constant source of inspiration.
