William Grant Moggridge, RDI (25 June 1943 – 8 September 2012) was an English designer, author and educator who cofounded the design company IDEO[4] and was director of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York.[5] 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,[6] was honoured for Lifetime Achievement from the National Design Awards,[7] and given the Prince Philip Designers Prize.[8][3] 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."[9]
