Sam Aquillano

Their mission: bring the transformative power of design everywhere. Design is everywhere, so the museum has no permanent address — instead, Sam and his team turn the museum inside out and transform the city into into the design museum with exhibitions, events, publications, and more. Sam holds a degree in Industrial Design and spent the first part of his career designing consumer products at Bose and teaching ID at MassArt and Wentworth Institute of Technology. While launching the Design Museum he earned his MBA at Babson College. Last year Fatherly.com named Sam one of America’s top 100 coolest dads.
