He’s a two-time Grammys winner and has also earned practically every important international design award.

He spoke five times at the official TED, making him one of the three most invited TED speakers. His books sell in the hundreds of thousands, and his exhibitions have been mounted in museums around the world. His exhibit, “The Happy Show,” attracted well over half a million visitors worldwide and became the most visited graphic design show in history. A native of Austria, he received his MFA from the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, and as a Fulbright Scholar, a Master’s degree from Pratt Institute in New York.
