Lunar Design Announces Gretchen Anderson to Lead Interaction Design Group

January 2, 2007– Lunar Design, a twenty-two year old world leader in creating successful, memorable products for the consumer, technology and medical industries, announces the addition of Gretchen Anderson to its team of creative industrial designers, graphic designers and engineers. Gretchen will be Lunar’s director of interaction design.

“We’re proud to have Gretchen join our team. She brings to Lunar a great deal of skill and experience in the field of interaction design,” said John Edson, president. “Despite the increasing functionality that new innovations offer, consumers expect simple and enriching interactions with their products. With Gretchen, we’ve found a versatile designer who helps our clients create new possibilities and unique designs that people love.”

Gretchen’s background spans a range of experiences. Schooled at Harvard, she has practiced creativity in business for a wide variety of clients at firms recognized for digital product design. Additionally, she has gathered a breadth of interaction design and user research methodology from these experiences that will expand Lunar’s offerings and meet the growing demands of its clients.

“I’m really excited to join the world-class designers at Lunar, working to make a difference with our creativity,” said Gretchen. “We’ve already started by helping a Fortune 100 company develop a device that increases the quality of life for people with disabilities. For me, this is the sweet spot of interaction design: creating products that aren’t just usable, but wonderful to use. I look forward to an inspiring and challenging future here.”
