Khoi Vinh, NYTimes.com

A fundamental shift is going on in design: control is passing from designers to users. Now more than ever design audiences are demanding control—over the way design solutions look, behave, respond to their needs, even over how design is delivered. NYTimes.com Design Director Khoi Vinh takes a closer look at how the industry-leading news site is meeting the challenges posed by this shift. Along the way, he charts the course of his own career as a Web designer, and how his fundamental approach to design has evolved with the Web.

He studied communication design at Otis School of Art and Design in Los Angeles, and practiced branding and graphic design in print for several years in Washington, D.C., before moving to New York.
