His rise from the untrained ranks to the pantheon of designers has been nothing short of meteoric. Combining fine art with commercial success, Carlos Segura has blazed his own unique trail to the top, defying the wrath of countless critics along the way. As the founder of Segura Inc. and the type foundry, T-26, he’s been accused of being the emissary of illegibility. As a designer, he’s been called everything from "hostile" to "communist." But he has left his mark on the world of typography. And that mark has had an impact around the world. Join us for an insightful luncheon with an international speaker who has shared the stage with some of the most notable design talents of our time, including Matthew Carter, Neville Brody, Stefan Sagmeister, April Greiman, and others. For more than an hour, Carlos will share stories of his journey from the shadows to design superstardom in Japan. See samples from his diverse body of work and discover his personal insights on the importance of the idea, staying focused and true to yourself, and the impact of environment on personal creativity.
