Theresa Shafer came up with a clever reconceptualization of a common logo for Wifi as a Christmas tree for the OpenSensors holiday greeting: “Have a Holly Jolly IoT-Enabled Holiday.”
Have a Holly Jolly IoT-Enabled Holiday
We are not known for our branding work but Theresa Shafer did a clever spin on a wireless icon to create a Christmas tree I really like.
In an interview with Jenn Webb (@JennWebb) at Strata + Hadoop World 2015 “Make Data Work” in London. Yodit Stanton (@YoditStanton), CEO of OpenSensors, talks about what led her to found OpenSensors.
Yodit Stanton: “I started OpenSensors with Malcolm Sparks just a year and a bit ago. Originally, it came out of my frustration of not being able to find real time air quality data.
My oldest has asthma, and I was quite convinced that the air quality particulates were impacting her attack, and I wanted to have a way of planning for the day. I thought it would be quite obvious that somewhere, someone would be able to provide me with these real time data sets.
To my surprise, it didn’t exist, so I decided to create one as an engineer would. Now we are creating a real time data exchange for the Internet of Things. This kind of crazy frustration project has now become a company.”
