Stefan Sagmeister

Stefan Sagmeister (1962- ) is among today’s most important and influential graphic designers. Born in Austria, he has lived and worked in New York since 1993. Renowned for album covers, posters, installations and his recent book of life lessons, Things I have learned in my life so far, Sagmeister brings a fresh perspective to the role and work of a designer. In this podcast interview with Debbie Millman, he discusses his year away from his New York-based design practice, his personal time in Bali, as well as discussing his new, in-progress documentary film, Happiness.

Debbie! I am laughing way too much for a podcast on a design site, which is a very good thing. The art of a life that "works" ie: is happy and evolving means remembering + designing it to include "non-working" palate refreshers/deep sabbaticals be they minutes or years. When art =life, we don't require gyms or therapists, as Stefan wisely noted. Thank you both.
