About this Site Permission Guidelines Field Trips  

This site was first put on the web in 1999 as a quick outline of my lectures for my graphic design students. I was trying to find a way to engage the studio designer by subject, rather than timeline.

In 2010 I left teaching for other pursuits but am keeping this archive posted for the foreseeable future.

The work behind this site is substantial. I've spent over 20 years reading, studying, visiting museums and libraries. I have an MFA from Cranbrook but am primarily self taught in this discipline. I have, however, taken plenty of design history classes at The Rare Book School at the University of Virginia, Princeton University and The University of Pennsylvania. For me, design history is an endlessly fascinating topic.
