3. “Despite all the ghastliness that is around, human
beings are made for goodness. The ones who
ought to be held in high regard are not the ones
who are militarily powerful, nor even economically
prosperous. They are the ones who have a
commitment to try and make the world a better
place.
We will endeavor to support those people and
do our best for humanity.”
- Desmond Tutu

26. austin ellis
Austin Ellis is a sledgehammer. Not concerned with mere
nails, he throws his engineering muster at difficult problems,
new technologies, and massive endeavors. In the last year at
AKQA he has worked on sites for Nike, Xbox, Method, and
most recently Visa. Before Working at Akqa, Austin worked for
Electronic Arts as a software engineer and programmed user
interfaces for ‘Lord of the Rings, the Third Age’, ‘Tiger Woods
Golf’, and ‘Sims Pets Wii’.
“I believe that design, by ordering the materials, ideas,
and interactions of our lives, is the culmination of all
human culture. By making information more accessible,
environments more comfortable, and human interaction
more available and far reaching we are uniting the world
into one global community, and in doing so transferring
values that previously only existed in small
neighborhoods and towns to every human being across
the world. “
