Come April, IDEO founder David Kelley will have an Edison Achievement Award pinned on him for his "pioneering contributions to the design of breakthrough products, services, and experiences for consumers, as well as his development of an innovative culture that has broad impact." Kelley has had a hand in the design of the first computer mouse, the Palm Treo, and Steelcase's Leap chair, among other things.

Having had the unique pleasure of an hour spent brainstorming with David Kelley on "what would a lab focusing on the those at the base of the pyramid" look like, focus on and consider; I can only say he deserves this honor and much more. He founded an organization that one can look back and say changed the global landscape of design, for design and how design is perceived outside of the industry.

Thank you David Kelley
