“Because I met Milton…” Project

Milton Glaser changed my life and I know he had a profound effect on everyone else he worked with too. How ever you came to know him and work with him, please share your experiences with this project. I believe our stories of the things we learned from him individually could benefit others for generations to come. The following questions may not all apply to you but please use the ones that do as writing prompts to share your story. Where possible, answer with as much detail as you can. The intention is to publish at first online and eventually in a book form. Video/audio interviews will be material for a podcast series. By completing the questionnaire below you are agreeing to share your answers with me for the Project “Because I met Milton…” and give your permission for your answers to be published, made available to the world, and attributed to you 🙂

If you would prefer me to interview you by video or audio means, click here to arrange a time.
