I’ve been nominated for a 2012 National Design Award from the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in the category of “Design Mind.” “First launched in 2000 as an official project of the White House Millennium Council, the annual National Design Awards program celebrates design in various disciplines as a vital humanistic tool in shaping the world, and seeks to increase national awareness of the impact of design through education initiatives. The Awards are bestowed in recognition of excellence, innovation, and enhancement of the quality of life.” Design Mind is “in recognition of a visionary, such as an educator, author, critic, curator, or designer, who has had a profound impact on design theory, practice, or public awareness.” After submitting application materials, finalists are selected, and honorees announced in June 2012.
