Abbott Miller was born in Indiana and studied at the Cooper Union School of Art in New York.
[2][3] In 1989 he founded the multidisciplinary studio Design/Writing/Research where, in collaboration with Ellen Lupton, he pioneered the concept of “designer as author” undertaking projects in which content and form are developed in a symbiotic relationship.
Miller’s projects are often concerned with the cultural role of design and the public life of the written word.
At Pentagram he leads a team designing identities, exhibitions, environmental graphics, books, magazines, and web and interactive projects.
[1] He is a visiting critic in the Graduate Design Program at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore.
