On September 8, 2012, one of the greatest design minds of our time, Bill Moggridge, passed away. The NEA Design Program Staff had the great privilege to work closely with Bill in the planning and execution of the Social Impact Design Summit hosted by the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in February 2012. Bill won every design award possible and – among other incredible feats - designed the first laptop, co-founded the game-changing firm IDEO, provided critical leadership in the emergent field of interaction design. A great advocator for design and its many positive impacts on the world,  his accomplishments at the Museum are also huge, including beginning the most significant capital project in its history.

We will deeply miss his kindness, humor, and generosity of spirit with which he approached every conversation and project.  Read about Bill and his inspiring contributions to the design field.
