Norman, former Director of the Institute for Cognitive Science at the University of California, reveals how smart design is the new frontier.

Donald A. Norman is the Breed Professor of Design at Northwestern University, a former vice president at Apple Computer, and a partner in the Nielsen Norman Group Consulting Firm, which consults with corporations on design. He is the author of a number of books on design, including Emotional Design and The Design of Future Things. Donald lives in Palo Alto, California, and Evanston, Illinois.
