Stefan G. Bucher

Stefan G. Bucher is a good egg. He is the man behind 344design.com. He is the author of the book All Access—The Making of Thirty Extraordinary Graphic Designers, and of the late illustrated column “ink & circumstance” for STEP Magazine. He has created gratuitously ambitious work for David Hockney, Tarsem, Sting, and a whole roster of brilliant artists. Along the way, he has gained a unique perspective on what it takes to be a happy and successful designer today.
