I am very excited to announce I’ve been selected as this year’s winner of the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award in Interactive Design. Steven Kurutz from the New York Times published an interview with me today about the award and my work: Evan Roth, an Award-Winning Man of Many Tags. First Lady Michelle Obama has agreed to serve as the Honorary Patron of the 2012 National Design Awards.
