Donald M. Rattner
A course by Donald M. Rattner
Donald Rattner is an award-winning architect and author. After earning a master’s of architecture from Princeton, he quickly found a job in the field, and later went on to build his own firm. The turning point in his career came when, while doing research for a project, he discovered the idea that our physical surroundings can influence our creative capacity. Since then, he’s been devoted to exploring this relationship and making his findings accessible to everyone.
Donald has published two books on the subject: The Creativity Catalog and the Amazon Bestseller My Creative Space: How to Design Your Home to Stimulate Ideas and Spark Innovation. His academic and professional work have been featured on CNN and in publications such as The New York Times, Work Design Magazine, Town & Country, and Brooklyn Magazine, among others. He also shares his knowledge on space design and creativity in university classrooms, workshops, and talks.
