Bill Moggridge
William Grant Moggridge,
RDI (25 June 1943 – 8 September 2012) was an English designer, author and educator who cofounded the design company
IDEO and was director of
Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York. He was a pioneer in adopting a human-centred approach in design, and championed
interaction design as a mainstream design discipline (he is given credit for coining the term). Among his achievements, he designed the first laptop computer, the
GRiD Compass, was honoured for Lifetime Achievement from the National Design Awards, and given the
Prince Philip Designers Prize. He was quoted as saying, "If there is a simple, easy principle that binds everything I have done together, it is my interest in people and their relationship to things."
