Geezer Design: About Dr. Terry Riley

	After earning a doctorate in cognitive psychology from Iowa State University, I held staff positions as a human factors psychologist in both high- and low-tech firms. For the past 16 years, I have worked for myself as a consultant to both large and small companies. My approach to design is sometimes traditional, sometimes unconventional, always pragmatic. I do what is necessary. I do what is appropriate. I do what works.
		Recently, my wife and I designed a home in which we intend to spend our silver years. That's when it hit me: Hey, we've got to start thinking about how our home and the products we use in it are going to suit us 10, 20, 30 years from now. Our vision isn't getting any better, our legs aren't getting any stronger, our memories aren't getting any... any... uh.... Well, anyway, we need to design our home with the prospects of aging in mind. I've taken that concept to heart—and to business: Promote safe and usable products and places for the silver population... without sacrificing aesthetics.
