Design Revolution: An Interview with Emily Pilloton
Allan Chochinov: Welcome Emily! We're very excited about the new book of course, and wanted to start at the start. How did this project begin?
Emily Pilloton: As has been the case with so much of Project H's growth, it was a story of serendipity. When I launched Project H in January of 2008 at the age of 26, I had big plans, and wanted to push product design to a more humanitarian-driven industry. The idea of writing a book crossed my mind, though I had placed it on my "things to do in the next ten years" list. About four months into Project H's existence, I had just returned from South Africa and Uganda, where we had been working on projects with Hippo Roller and the Kutamba AIDS Orphans School , and was giving a lecture during New York design week, at Metropolis' "Make Good and Prosper" conference at the ICFF. I was completely jet-lagged from a 14-hour flight from Johannesburg, and was having trouble putting eloquent sentences together. But despite that, after my talk giving an overview of Project H's initiatives and mission, Diana Murphy, the editor of Metropolis Books, approached me and expressed interest in the content as potential book material. Over the next few months, I put together a proposal, pitched it to Metropolis, and signed a book deal in August 2008. Coincidentally, I had met graphic designer extraordinaire Scott Stowell at Compostmodern in January 2008, who at the time I had accosted, saying "If I ever write a book, I want you to design it." After signing the contract, he was the next phone call I made. (And as a sidebar for readers: Allan wasn't just at the top of the list to write the foreword, he WAS the list).
