His name is John Maeda. He grew up in Seattle in a family of tofu makers, he's an electrical engineer from MIT by training, a prolific graphic designer by profession, author of the book "The Laws of Simplicity", TED presenter not once, but twice, father to five daughters. He totally transcends and shatters any label you try to put on him, and he seems like an absolutely awesome person.
He was inaugurated as RISD President on 12 September 2008, and his nifty, inclusive inauguration speech can be found here, which happens to be on Maeda's RISD blog, our.risd.edu. President Simmons, can you have a blog, too, please?
I found Maeda through his talk On Simplicity at TED 2007. Whimsical, beautiful, fun, inspiring. As a Mechanical Engineer wondering what to do with her life, I have more hope now.
I also found this little gem on our.risd.edu:
