John Plunkett and Barbara Kuhr use design to solve problems for non-profits and companies whose interests coincide with the designers' and society's as a whole.

They formed Plunkett + Kuhr in New York in 1990, and have been based in Park City, Utah the last 15 years.

Prior to forming P+K, Barbara worked in New York for legendary designers Ivan Chermayeff and Tom Geismar.

John and Barbara lived in Paris from 1984 to 1987, working first for an American investor (where they met future Wired partner Louis Rossetto) and later as the 'concepteurs principals' for the Musee du Louvre's visitor information system, for and with Ken Carbone of CSA, and I.M.Pei.

Barbara was born in Montana in 1954 and holds a degree in design from Montana State University.
