Scratching the Surface: Randy Nakamura
<p>Randy Nakamura is a designer, researcher, and one of my favorite writers from <em>Emigre</em>. His writing has appeared in <em>Design Observer</em>, <em>Emigre</em>, <em>Task</em>, <em>Modes of Criticism</em>, and <em>Idea Magazine</em> and he’s worked as a designer at Jon Sueda’s studio, Stripe, and served as design director at The Grateful Palate. He’s currently at PhD candidate in the Critical Studies program at UCLA Architecture and Urban Design. In this rare interview, I talk with Randy about his journey from biology to design, how he started writing for <em>Emigre</em>, the similarities between architecture and design criticism, and how the design discourse has changed over his career.</p>
