We are honored to introduce Bill Moggridge as our newest columnist, once the designer of the first laptop computer (the GRiD Compass 1982), now the director of Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, and always one of design's leading lights. He describes his career as having three phases, first as a designer with projects for clients in ten countries, second as a co-founder of IDEO where he developed design methods for interdisciplinary design teams, and third as a spokesperson for the value of design in everyday life, writing, presenting and teaching, supported by the historical depth and contemporary reach of the museum.
Welcome Bill!
