In this episode, Michael Lehman and Bob Walsh talk to Mike Rohde, designer and art director for MakaluMedia, about the changing role of design in software development and how and why MicroISVs must incorporate design thinking into their development process. Working from his Milwaukee, Wisconsin office, Mike is also a writer and blogger, sharing his thoughts on design, drawing, technology and life, at Rohdesign.com, since February 2003. He is also the proprietor of PlannerHack.com a "do-it-yourself guide to converting a pocket-sized, ruled Moleskine notebook into a custom weekly planner and task management system." Mike Rohde also provides design services and consulting for MicroISVs. en Wed, 22 May 2013 18:38:30 GMT Wed, 22 May 2013 18:38:30 GMT Rev9 Re: Putting your best face forward - The growing importance of design for MicroISVs - Mike Rohde - Rohde posted by rohdesign
