I met today’s American a few years back in connection with an animation project for AmEx. Nils put together a great piece and we’ve since gone on to work together numerous times, in fact, he designed the King Media Group logo.
Growing up on a farm Nils learned early the value of hard work. He went on to a successful design career and as a letterforms instructor at Art Center.
Here, the conversation goes from thinning sugar beets and jumping in the river, to the value of a work ethic and aesthetic design. That's Nils, a man of many (type) faces.
Quote to watch for when asked why he didn't flee the farm: “You grew up knowing you were an essential part of the livelihood. It had to be done."
