John Maeda president (since 2008)

survey: 85.1% of respondents agreed that RISD’s programs are top notch as we enter “the golden age of design in Start Up-s,” where highly skilled creatives specializing in Product Design and UI are critical. Among the design-driven companies Business Insider cites as “leading the charge” in this new era is AirBnb – founded and run by alumni Brian Chesky (RISD 2004 ID) and Joe Gebbia (RISD 2005 ID/GD), who recently became a RISD trustee.
