Description
In early November Skift hosted its first Design the Future event, an afternoon of discussions with leaders in the design and creativity space. As part of this, we're posting extracts of these conversations.
Host: Robert Rosenthal, author and speaker
Guest: Aaron Walton, CEO of Walton Isaacson
