Jeremy Myerson talks about the designer as collaborator in a co-design process:
Jeremy Myerson is Director of the Helen Hamlyn Centre and Professor of Design Studies at the Royal College of Art. A graduate of Hull University and the Royal College of Art, he began his working life on The Stage newspaper in the mid-1970s and developed his interest in design as a journalist and editor working on a number of titles including Design (published by the Design Council), Creative Review and World Architecture. From 1986-89, he was Founding Editor of Design Week, the world’s first weekly news magazine for designers and their clients.
Jeremy worked as an independent writer, researcher and curator in design, often with the aim of linking design industry developments to those in higher education and was formerly Professor of Contemporary Design at De Montfort University. In 1999, he was invited to return to the RCA to set up the Helen Hamlyn Centre, its role as a catalyst for socially inclusive design reflecting much of his own writing, research and exhibition curation.
