The inability to give controlled design presentations on the iPad drove Don to create Idea Flight. Showing app and website designs as seen in real life was possible but keeping everyone on the same page was not. There had to be an elegant solution. His past work includes the design for the Epicurious Recipes & Shopping List App for various platforms (iOS, WebOS, Windows Phone 7, and Nook), the mobile experience for The New Yorker, the upcoming Gourmet Live App for iPhone, in addition to being the design lead on many of Condé Nast's award-winning websites. You can find Don on Twitter or LinkedIn.

Juliana leads efforts to create new products and businesses through emerging trends, strategic partnerships, and iterative development. Before working on the product innovation team on Idea Flight, she was the founding General Manager of Gourmet Live. A native New Yorker, she hopes one day for Glee to fulfill her dreams of devoting an entire episode to the musical genius that is Stephen Sondheim. In the meantime, you can find her in Harlem where she lives with her husband and two kids. You can find Juliana on Twitter or LinkedIn.
