From White House to our house
Article Abstract:
Christopher Hyland is enthusiastically leading the US government's campaign to boost the profile of design in the US. Hyland, who owns his own design business, is a flamboyant figure who is also shrewd and intelligent, and who knows how to get things done. Hyland's main task at present is to set up the Presidential Design Leadership Award, which as yet is the only concrete initiative to result from the government's interest in the design sector. The government currently has only a weak link with the design sector, although there are proposals for the creation of a US Design Council.
