Mary Spio grew up in Ghana and was 16 when her parents saved up enough money to send her to the United States. Her first job was at a McDonald's. Since then, she has served in the Air Force and created content and technologies for global titans such as Boeing, Lucas Films, Universal Music, Miami Children's Hospital, and Microsoft Xbox. Today, she is the head of CEEK VR, a developer of innovative content solutions and tools for distributing virtual-reality and augmented-reality experiences.
When I was first approached to chair the 2017 SEGD Conference Experience Miami, I imagined the draw for everyone would be the amazing weather and location. Upon digging in and learning more about the designers and projects occurring both in Miami and South America, I was impressed by how much design innovation and expertise we could feature.
Different cities face unique design challenges, but their innovative approaches can inspire designers across the world. At the 2017 SEGD Conference Experience Miami,June 8–10, attendees will learn about the challenges and successes of design for a city of Miami’s caliber.
