Moore began working with Raymond Loewy International in New York City in 1974. Loewy is widely recognized as the Father of Industrial Design.
In 1979, at the age of 26, Moore began an exceptional and daring sociologic experiment to study the lifestyle of elders in North America. She traveled throughout the United States and Canada, prosthetically disguised as elder women, more than 80 years of age. The guises Moore utilized represented a range of health and wealth, allowing her to experience how elders manage their daily lives. The research was completed in 1982, after visiting 116 cities in 14 state and two Canadian provinces
