About

Making What Matters introduces Tony Fadell — inventor, entrepreneur, investor, and author of Build: An Unorthodox Guide to Making Things Worth Making — as MAD's inaugural Designer in Residence. Fadell, known for his creation of the iPod, iPhone, and Nest, will discuss how design decisions shape technology, daily life, and the futures we imagine.
