Cooper-Hewitt: Design Your Life with Ellen Lupton Ellen Lupton has been Cooper-Hewitt's curator of contemporary design since 1992. Her new book, Design Your Life: The Pleasures and Perils of Everyday Things (St. Martins Press, May 2009), is co-authored with her twin sister Julia. Design Your Life takes an irreverent and realistic look at everything from toasters, bras, and pillows to housekeeping and procrastination. Speaking to readers who are both design-conscious and consumer-wary, Design Your Life taps into the popular interest in design as well as peoples desire to make their own way through a mass-produced world. graphic design, women and design, productivity, signage, toasters, ergonomics, behavior, toilet paper, design thinking, Ellen Lupton, office design, smart appliances, Design Your Life, visibility principle, talk, long, public program
Bill's Design Talks: From Then to Now—The Trajectory of Design The design process has progressed from just forming objects to addressing the situations in which objects are used.

This year, Ralph Caplan is honored with the National Design Mind Award for his contributions to design research and scholarship. smithsonian, cooper-hewitt, National Design Museum, Ralph Caplan, Bill Moggridge, ID Magazine, design, design thinking, National Design Awards, bills design talks, talk, long, public program
