Wurman is an American architect and graphic designer. He is considered a pioneer in the field of information design. He has written and designed over 80 books and also created the TED(technology/entertainment/design) conferences. He has many great achievements including his best-selling book, Information Anxiety, and his award winning ACCESS Travel Guides. An interesting fact about Wurman's books is that they each focus on a subject or idea that he personally had difficulty understanding. The AIGA honored him as a design conference impresario in 2004.
