The IDEO Futures podcast: where entrepreneurship meets design. 

We love the art and science of bringing cool stuff to life. We are designers dedicated to the notion of building to think.  Our motto is always, "Don't get ready, get started!"

In that spirit, we focus on getting better with each episode we make. For the best listening experience, we recommend starting with our latest episode. Or Episode 10.

We love to hear from you. You can find us on Twitter @ideofutures

The musical journey began during childhood with a love for music in general.  It wasn't until 1995 (age 14) when I started learning the guitar.  I attempted to form a band (named Swede) soon afterwards, which barely started before failing.  But in 1997, I helped form a band that would eventually be called Supertrip.  I was with them until early 1999, after which I would co-found a band with Darren Roverts called Driftwood, which lasted from early 1999 to late 2000.  During the first year of Driftwood, Darren & I took a break to make what would become our first ever digital music track - "Red Alert".

While studying a music course at Linwood College in 2002, I found myself creating 2 digital songs as a part of an assignment - "Eliminator" and "Electronica".  These songs kicked off what would become my solo project, n-Somnia.

Initially, n-Somnia would last from 2002 to 2006, when I retired the project in favour of another similar adventure called Kingrow.  However, this would only be temporary when n-Somnia would come out of retirement in 2011 to release what would become the first album, "The Awakening".
