I have retired (for the 5th time).
** I am now Distinguished Professor and Founding Director of the UC San Diego Design Lab, emeritus. (Emeritus = "retired but allowed to retain their title as an honor.")
For students and young professionals
For anything besides engagements, talks or consulting, read the guidelines for writing to me.
Speaking engagements
Instead of lectures, I offer "Discussions with Don Norman." It is more enjoyable and effective for the audience if I give a short introductory talk followed by an long Question and Answer period. By responding to questions, I ensure that what I say will be relevant to the audience.
These procedure is also very effective via video engagements because the question-asker and I are in direct, face-to-face interaction. This requires someone to monitor questions and select the ones most relevant to the audience to give to me.
All my commercial engagements are handled by my Speaker's Bureau,
BrightSight Speakers.
