Founder, Head of Design

"I hand-coded my first Prezi in 2001, just as a personal tool to develop my ideas by seeing relations, big picture, and then focus the attention of the audience by creating a visual journey. I made about 1500 Prezis by now, and after each and every one I am thinking about how to use this language better, how could we build this knowledge into the product, so we can help everyone in making better prezis. In a Prezi there is always context, there are no slides hiding one idea from the other, and the visual journey is always there to help us orient in the cloud of information."

Adam, an architect and artist, a maker and facilitator, spent the last decade creating innovative technologies and artistic projects which facilitate the creativity of others - ranging from mixed reality interfaces and DIY smarthomes, to institutions and workshop methods for innovation. His (collaborative) works have been exhibited at Venice Biennales and dozens of festivals globally, and published in leading magazines and blogs.
