Design consultant, educator, author, and artist living in Palm Springs, California, Richard Poulin has based his forty-year career on a generalist approach to graphic, environmental, interior, and exhibition design. Since 1986, he has divided his time between professional practice and academia in New York City, as co-founder and design director of Poulin + Morris Inc., an internationally-recognized design consultancy, and as an adjunct professor at the School of Visual Arts and Cooper Union. He is a recipient of a Graham Foundation research grant in design history and his work is in the permanent collections of the Library of Congress, Denver Art Museum, and the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum. Richard has written seven books on design, which have been translated into eight languages.
