After teaching in Nigeria with the U.S. Peace Corps, Steve Frykholm attended and graduated from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Furniture icon Herman Miller, Inc. then hired him to be its first internal graphic designer.

For 40 years he has been largely responsible for Herman Miller's image and graphic identity. He's learned a thing or two during that time, as a designer, creative director, and advisor while working on Herman Miller's award winning annual reports, product brochures, posters, catalogs, publications, ads, websites, and videos.

Not only has Steve received Herman Miller's highest recognition for an employee, The Carl F. Frost Award, but he has also received recognition from professional peers. His work has been published and exhibited, and he's received Gold and Silver medals and Certificates of Excellence from AIGA, NY Art Directors Club, American Center for Design, Mead Annual Report Show, Communication Arts, Graphis, Creativity, and Print. He is an AIGA Fellow, a Lifetime Achievement Silver Medalist from the Ad Club of West Michigan, and recognized as an annual report legend in Graphis and an American Design icon in the 50th Anniversary Issue of Communication Arts.

Steve and his wife, Nancy Phillips, an interior architectural designer and equestrian, live in rural Michigan where she rides dressage and he spreads manure and photographs wildflowers.

Attend for a chance to win the most technologically advanced, and environmentally friendly office chair in the world: the Embody Chair from Herman Miller.
