TEDxYouth@SantaMonica - Andrew Byrom

Andrew Byrom was born in Liverpool, England in 1971. After graduating from the University of East London in 1996, Andrew opened his own design studio in London and worked for various clients including Penguin Books, The British Academy of Composers and Songwriters, and The Guardian Newspaper. Around this time he also began teaching typography at The University of Luton and Central Saint Martins.

Byrom moved to the states in 2000 to teach at Northern Illinois University. In 2006 he moved to Califiornia, where he is now a Professor at CSULB. He divides his time between teaching, designing for various clients and playing with his sons. He has recently been commissioned to design typefaces and type treatments for The New York Times Magazine, Du Magazine, Elle Decoration, and Sagmeister Inc.

His designs have featured in numerous magazines such as Print Magazine and Dwell, and in numerous design books including New Typographic Design, Typo: The Beautiful World of Fonts, Type Addicted, and Lettering & Type.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
