Making Tech sexy- Design is what I do

?

Tech BKstyle! I have to make tech ?SEXY!?... I'm ?sitting trying to figure out how to ?communicate the design ?process and what ?makes for a successful product, to ?someone who insist they have a "winning" idea. I am reminded of my ?fashion design process! ?sign up?Http://tuberiam.tibiaetech.com?

I'm charged with ?bringing tech to ?my community... not the?Facebook?stuff but encouraging local businesses to embrace technology as a solution "addressing need or?even?more demanding to "disrupt their industry , niche sector!

Tibia Tech Inc is a NY based tech startup that ?is in the business of change management addressing the glaring problem of lack of minority-owned businesses in today?s tech sector and the adoption of technology in today?s business culture, We provide a support system that is unprecedented ... and needed ?

o Technology

o Funding & Financing-

o Education- Technical Training Programs & Development of Skill Sets

o Business & Resource Development & Procurement-

o Media, Marketing & Communication and distribution experts

?

More importantly we ?encourage the establishment of?startups... "change the ratio" the urban version!?Already ?we're facing "I have a brilliant idea I just need a developer! ?The ideas are great and more importantly truly needed!

Yet as?each?plan is presented... I see blatant holes in?the?business model, strategy design, user interface ... mainly ?from lack of knowledge!

My partner said it simply, "you have to make it sexy ?for our people!"?

What??

They want the "Matrix" meets the "Minority Report"... and he is not off track. Few want to do the research, investigate, challenge and INNOVATE!?

So as I'm ?sitting trying to figure out how to ?communicate the design ?process and what ?makes for a?successful?product ?to ?someone who insist they have a "winning" idea. I am reminded of my ?fashion design process! I Have to make tech ?SEXY!I ?use several design techniques but eventually ?before they ?hit the shelf they must be?redesigned?from an ?art perspective to a consumer product focus! I?usually?use??the??educate, Investigate, brainstorm ?leave?to?simmer then?design?from "inspiration". The fact ?is in that ?process "inspiration is a carefully ?induced process!?

In the image above I ?sat ?through several ?free-form?jazz jams in?the?late 1999 at ?Palm Court ?and as my ?friend improvised I ?let my ?hands "move. In 2002 I ?took those?sketches?and executed these garments that were shown at Harlem Fashion Week in ?2003!?

ABOUT ?TIBIAE TECH

We're presently Working onm the Tibiae tech ?concept and language.. The ?Space will launch in September and we are currently ?identifying and working ?with our first ?stratups!

Tibiae Tech Solutions provides technology, funding , mentorship, incubation, marketing and distribution to enable experts in niche local micro sectors who answer the question ??what would you do with technology if you could?? to access and develop technologies, focused on scalable next generation concepts! Tibiae Tech brings the Silicon Culture into local neighborhoods ?as a start-up designed specifically to facilitate the adoption, adaptation and creation of new and emerging ?technology by and for local entrepreneurs! ?Tibiae Tech seeks to help local experts make culturally relevant and successful transitions to the inevitable tech powered "solution" within their niche and thus proactively create effective solutions. Tibiae tech?s mission is focused on shifting ?the economic decline ?in urban ?communities into thriving businesses that can compete in today?s emerging high-growth marketplace. As opposed to the usual one-level approach, Tibiae Tech will employ a multi- pronged strategy utilizing the comprehensive resources to develop, nurture and support a successful small business.

Tibia Tech is in the business of change management addressing the glaring problem of lack of minority-owned businesses in today?s tech sector and the adoption of technology in today?s business culture. By proving space, pools of resources and making them accessible, we can jump-start these businesses. We first conceptualized an ?irrigation? system that would funnel resources to urban tech ?start-ups, as well as an ?incubator with relevant ?mentorship, training and support. Founders also noted that we we would not only need an ?incubator and an accelerator but we would have to develop a ??hatchery? and started brainstorming the challenge of fostering new ideas. ?The fact is fact we need to ?create a pollination and fertilization ?process before we can incubate... Distribution needed to be supported by offline and online venues connected and integrated seamlessly across digital platforms and so the Tuberiam was designed. ?We opted for the co-working model. in order to fulfill the small business needs, Tibiae Tech has to create the resources/ thus experts in each discipline are coming together to provide their expertise and creating ?a culturally ?sensitive ?programing and resource solutions. That introduces new concepts in Business as well as new and elerging technologies ad encorages exploration ad testing ?theories through to concept and product development! the challeng e of support ?staff ad their technical training will also be addressed! ?To facilitate this a comprehensive funding and financing ?protocol ?will be put in place! Tibia Tech believes that a ?comprehensive approach will create the ?necessary traction ?needed to ?push ahead. ?Tibia Tech ?July ?1st ?we begin ?p[rparing ?the core members with a soft ?launch with a target ?date of September for a permanent location
