Stefan Sagmeister is a New York–based graphic designer and the co-founder of Sagmeister & Walsh, Inc. His bold style and careful sense of craft expands to photography, video, bookmaking, murals, installation, and more. He has also designed album covers for Lou Reed, OK Go, The Rolling Stones, David Byrne, and Aerosmith.


Solo shows of Sagmeister’s work have been mounted in Zurich, Vienna, New York, Berlin, Japan, Osaka, Prague, Cologne, and Seoul. His exhibition The Happy Show, exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia and Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, explored the challenges of well-being and fulfillment in contemporary society through sometimes extreme, sometimes humorous self-experiments. Sagmeister is currently working on a documentary on the same subject, called The Happy Film. He teaches in the graduate department of the School of Visual Arts in New York and has been appointed as the Frank Stanton Chair at the Cooper Union School of Art, New York.
