Sara Little Turnbull : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sara Little Turnbull Sara Little Turnbull (née Finkelstein; September 21, 1917 — September 4, 2015)〔(Sara Little Turnbull, Product Designer Inspired by Anthropology and Nature, Dies at 97 )〕 was an American product designer, design innovator and educator. She advised corporate America on product design for more than 50 years, and has been described as "corporate America's secret weapon."〔Vienne, Veronique (November 2000) ("The Why of It All" ), ''Metropolis Magazine''〕 She was one of America's first female industrial designers and one of the first women to succeed in a post-World War II design industry dominated by men. She helped to create essential products from medical masks to CorningWare, and founded and led the Process of Change: Laboratory for Innovation and Design at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. She approached design as a self-trained cultural anthropologist and believed that a thorough understanding of the fine-grain details of how different cultures behaved was key to successful and innovative business solutions.〔("Stanford's Sarah (sic) Little Turnbull on Design" ), Corporate Design Foundation〕 == Early life and education ==
Sara Finkelstein was born in Manhattan and raised in Brooklyn. Her mother introduced her to the use of color and form by arranging fruits and vegetables in bowls. She attended Parsons School of Design on scholarships from the School Art League of NYC and the National Council of Jewish Women, graduating in 1939. Because she was 4'11" in height, she acquired the nickname "Little Sara," and then began to call herself Sara Little professionally.〔(Sara Little Turnbull website )〕 She married James R. Turnbull (then executive vice president of Douglas Fir Plywood Assn in Tacoma, WA) in 1965, but used the name Sara Little for her entire career. Later, when Turnbull became executive vice president of National Forest Products Assn, they moved to Washington, D.C., with an apartment at the Watergate complex. They were living there during the White House plumbers break-in.
