Outlook for Lapka + Airbnb

•  Founder of Lapka now Airbnb Art Director –  “What we’re capable of building together is beyond

explanation, so I’ll save that for later. The future is long.”

•  Expect to see laser-focus on experience –  “Both companies share an extreme passion for design, beauty

and meaningful, cinematic experiences.”

•  It’s not about devices –  “Whether it was the radiation sensor, the EMF sensor, or even

the breathalyzer, each product was imagined as a token, charm, or talisman, not a device.”

For Aspiring Technologists?

•  Just scratching the surface of “UX” •  Get the technology out of the way •  “Be a post-Apple company.”
