SCOTT STOWELL WANTS YOU TO PAY ATTENTION / WDCD2011
Since 1998, designer Scott Stowell has been doing business as Open – and has survived by staying small, not really specializing in anything in particular, and embracing ‘an open notion of the term “office”, inviting different participants to every project’. As it turns out, everything is connected and everything is an opportunity – if you're paying attention.
Stowell is the proprietor of Open, an independent design studio that creates rewarding experiences for people who look, read, and think. Right now he is working on a book for Stanford's d.school, a campaign for Uniqlo, an e-book with futurist Alex Steffen, information graphics for Harvard Business Review, more signage for Brooklyn Bridge Park, some strategy for Naked Pizza, this text for this conference, a website for Google, and a plan to get some sleep.
Before starting Open, Stowell was the art director of Colors magazine in Rome and a senior designer at M&Co. New York. Before that, he earned a BFA in graphic design from Rhode Island School of Design. A former vice president of AIGA/NY, Stowell teaches at Yale and the School of Visual Arts. In 2008, the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum named Stowell the winner of the National Design Award for Communication Design.
