Welcome to my site. I’m a book author who also writes for magazines and newspapers. In October 2009, The Penguin Press published my new book, Glimmer, about the power of design to transform the way we live. This project, which has been several years in the works, has taken me inside the studios and deep into the creative minds of some some of the world’s top designers and design experts, including Bruce Mau.
Along with a link to my magablog, GlimmerSite.com, I’ve provided a diversified sampling here of what the book has to offer, including the following:
- a brief summary overview of the book
- a peek at the table of contents, which lists “the 10 principles of Glimmer” and an excerpt of the book's introductory chapter
- a Q&A with the author (in which I ask myself some questions that frankly I wasn’t expecting)
- a taste of some of the more provocative and inspiring quotes or “glimmerisms” contained in the book
- a roundup of “the glimmerati” — the great designers featured in the book
- a glossary of some of the fascinating design terms that the book explores and explains (including my personal favorite, “chunking.”)
Because there is more to my life than Glimmer (though it doesn’t seem that way at the moment), I have included pages on my other books, my magazine articles, and a bio.
If you want to get in touch with me or with the publicists working on Glimmer, the contact page will tell you how.
Thanks for stopping by.
