Bill Moggridge

Bill Moggridge founded his design firm in 1969 in London and added a second office a decade later in Palo Alto, Calif., in the heart of Silicon Valley. He designed the first laptop computer, the GRiD Compass, and pioneered interaction design as a discipline. In 1991, he merged his company with those of David Kelley and Mike Nuttall to form IDEO.

Bill has been active in design education throughout his career, notably as a visiting professor in interaction design at the Royal College of Art in London and a consulting associate professor in the design program at Stanford University. He is most interested in what people want, who they are, and how they interact with other people, things, and places. His book, Designing Interactions, is available from The MIT Press and was named one of the 10 Best Innovation and Design Books of 2006 by BusinessWeek.

Bill is currently the Director of the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York.
