Jason Fried is the co-founder and president of 37signals,  a Chicago-based company that builds web-based productivity tools that, in their words, "do less than the competition -- intentionally." 37signals' simple but powerful collaboration tools include Basecamp, Highrise, Backpack, Campfire, Ta-da List, and Writeboard. 37signals also developed and open-sourced the Ruby on Rails programming framework. Jason will share how these tools and the success of his company have come from solving problems through design or "designing solutions."

This is a free event.

Friday Speaker Series is Co-Sponsored by AIGA Chicago.
