A Genetic Leg Up

Steve Frykholm, Vice President, Creative Director, Herman Miller Inc.

 

Steve Fryckholm
Steve Fryckholm

Steve Fryckholm began his graphic design career thirty-five years ago with Herman Miller. At that time, the company’s design reputation was firmly established, producing the designs of Charles Eames and George Nelson. Robert Probst’s Action Office was beginning to gain market acceptance, and Bill Stump’s Ergon chair would follow a few years later. Leadership and good business practices have contributed to Herman Miller’s success, but Steve believes that it is the company’s heritage of good design that gives its designers a leg-up in their work. In his presentation, Steve will share how the connections between good design and corporate culture have translated into success at Herman Miller.
