Since 1998, designer Scott Stowell has been doing business as Open—and as such has grown by not growing, specialized in not really specializing in anything in particular, and (according to the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum) embraced “an open notion of the term ‘office,’ inviting different participants to every project.” Right now Scott is working on Design for People, a book of stories about how (and why) we can work together to make things better. And soon, he’s going to invite you to participate, too.
