William (Bill) Moggridge, a British industrial and interaction designer, is co-founder of the Silicon Valley-based design firm IDEO. He helped design what was arguably the first laptop computer, the GRiD Compass. He advocates applying a user-centered design process in product development cycles and also works towards popularizing interaction design as a mainstream discipline. As well as being a Royal Designer for Industry since 1988, he was honored with the lifetime achievement award at the National Design Awards at the White House in 2009.

Moggridge is the author of Designing Interactions (ISBN 0262134748), which was published in October 2006 and named one of the 10 Best Innovation and Design Books of 2006 by BusinessWeek magazine.

He has also been involved in design education in the United Kingdom and the United States; he has taught at the Royal College of Art, the London Business School and Stanford University, and sits on the board at the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design.
