'Talk Story with Jeni' and Justin Ahrens

Talk Story ('olelo Kama'ilio) is the casual yet deliberate sharing of ideas and opinions, stories and history. It is two or more people taking time out of the day to slow down and talk. This is what good friends do on a lazy Kona day, just get together and talk story. Talk Story with Jeni is a series of weekly conversations with old friends and new. It’s a chance to share the backstory of folks in the design industry, people who inspire us because they took life to the next level and made something rockin’ cool of it. Join me and allow me to invite you into the conversation! My guest, Justin, is the principal of Rule29, a strategic creative firm located in Geneva, Illinois. In his 10+ years of producing award-winning and strategically motivated work, Justin has developed a passion for "making creative matter". Rule29 clients, ranging from non-profit organizations to Fortune 500 corporations, can expect Justin's and the rest of R29's enthusiasm to be infused into each project. Rule29's work has been recognized by many leading industry publications and Graphic Design USA chose him as one of the top designers to watch in 2004. But for all his accomplishments, Justin's greatest passion is being home with his wife, Sarah, and their four amazing kids who think Dad's job is listening to music, drawing pictures, and playing on the computer.
