Lisa Grocott studied graphic design in the 1980s at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, and has had an academic career at Parsons School of Design in New York and is now the Head of Art, Design and Architecture at Monash University, Australia.[1]

Biography[edit]

Grocott has taught at RMIT University and was the founder of Studio Anybody, in 1998, which explored alternative practice models within Australian graphic design.[2] With five others, Studio Anybody focussed on concept-driven and experimental work with commercial clients.[3]

With her background in transdisciplinary design, Grocott now leads research projects in the Wonderlab at Monash University, where she collaborates with psychologists, neurosciences and educationalists and PhD students.[4] Her research into collaborative design lead to her thinking that the future of design requires,"“designers who can think in poetic terms alongside the people that can think really strategically.”[5].

Grocott's contributions to design research and design education have been noted as significant in the lineage of women in graphic design.[6]
