12 Questions on the Future of Design
Dong-Ping Wong (Family): Buildings, mostly.

Jasmina Grase: I design everyday objects with a moment of discovery. Sustainable improvements to our fast lifestyle. Right now I’m a co-founder of “MIITO” and the studio “Chudy & Grase.”

Tim O’Reilly: I make books, conferences, and big ideas that help organize communities of practice — ideas like “open source,” “Web 2.0,” “makers,” or “open government” (“government as platform”).

Colin Raney (Formlabs): We design/make 3D printers.

Grase, Wong, Raney, O’Reilly, and Waldman

Matthew Waldman: I created NOOKA Inc. to bring the revolution of interface design to fashion and objects. That said, I’m best known for my timepieces that express the ideas of universal global language.

Emily Fischer (Haptic Lab): Physical projects and textiles that explore haptics — the body’s sense of touch.

Eric J. Winston (SFDS): Fabrication and design.

Hidden (John van den Nieuwenhuizen & Vitor Santa Maria): We design poetically simple audio projects.

Fischer, Desbiens, Winston, the Hidden team, and Perry

Justin Nagelberg (Parallelogram): I design objects that try and explore form and function in new, unexpected, and ideally more interesting or useful ways.

Nicholas Desbiens: I am an architect, computational designer, and, most recently, the creator of fahz, the 3D printing project that lets you put your face in a vase.

Marco Perry: Pensa is a consulting firm that works with startups and Fortune 500 firms for just about any consumer project. We spun off another company that makes the D.I.Wire, the first desktop CNC wire bender.

Bapu, Thrift, Danzico, and Nagelberg

Pavan Bapu: I’m the co-founder of a consumer electronics startup called Gramovox, and we reimagine vintage audio design with modern technology.

Liz Danzico: Chair of the MFA Interaction Design program at the School of Visual Arts, and creative director at NPR.

Scott Thrift (The Present): I’m an artist and I produce work on time.
