Challenging Savior Stories in Design
The speaker reflects on a conversation with a colleague, Tucker Beermister, who worked on Oxo kitchen products and shared insights about the invention of the ergonomic grip. The speaker questioned the typical narrative that credited Sam Farber for the design, prompting a discussion about Betsy, who was actually a designer and had a disability.
