Today I visited the legendary Red Burns to report on the progress of the simplicity movement. Her program at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts in Interactive Telecommunications (ITP) is widely recognized as having given birth to the digital media creative industries in New York.

When I saw Red’s students buzzing about with creative vive today, I felt that they do so out of trust and faith in Red. Learning is simpler when you have complete faith in your teachers. That’s why I go to learn from Master Red as her leadership example is pure simplicity.

On John Maeda’s blog entry he linked to a very small biography, but with very little content. […]
