John Maeda is a world-renowned graphic designer, visual artist, and computer scientist at the MIT Media Lab; he is a founding voice for “simplicity” in the digital age.
Named by Esquire magazine as one of the 21 most important people for the 21st century, Maeda first made his mark by redefining the use of electronic media as a tool for expression for people of all ages and skills.
He has received the highest career honors for design in numerous countries and serves on the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum’s board of trustees. A faculty member at the Media Lab since 1996, Maeda holds the E. Rudge and Nancy Allen Professorship of Media Arts and Sciences and is the Lab's Associate Director of Research. Major exhibits of his work have shown worldwide, and he has written several books on his philosophy of “humanizing technology,” including The Laws of Simplicity.
