Abbott Miller

Abbott Miller was born in Indiana and studied design at the Cooper Union School of Art in New York. In 1989 he founded the multidisciplinary studio Design/Writing/Research, where, in collaboration with Ellen Lupton, he pioneered the concept of "designer as author"—developing projects in which content and form emerge in symbiotic relationship. He joined Pentagram's New York office as a partner in 1999, where he leads a team designing books, magazines, catalogs, identities, and exhibitions, with work often concerned with the cultural role of design and the public life of the written word.
