Joseph Juhnke, partner and Director of Interactive Technology, has been working in interactive communication since 1994. Joseph's experience in visual design, software development, and user definition allows him a unique and creative view into the mitigation of actor requirements. Joseph believes that all interaction designers should have a background in application development and visual design. He also believes that creativity is a key component to creating memorable experiences, especially when technology is the medium.
Upon his arrival in Chicago, he quickly became involved in large-scale Internet initiatives as senior designer at Andersen Worldwide, and later art director at USWeb/CKS and marchFIRST. Joseph spent five years deploying enterprise scale sites, including Walgreens.com and Cummins.com on content management systems, including ATG/Interwoven, Broadvision, and Microsoft CMS. In 1999, Joseph joined forces with Marielle Schmidt, now Tanagram Partners' Managing Director, to form brilliant-id, a boutique design and information architecture consultancy. In October of 2003, brilliant-id merged with Tanagram to become Tanagram Partners, offering an optimal mix of traditional graphic design and emerging interactive technologies.
Joseph received his BFA in Art (emphasis in Graphic Design) from Western Michigan University. Joseph also holds concurrent BAs in Communications and Art.
