Tobias Van Schneider

Tobias van Schneider lives and breathes design.

A rock star of the industry, van Schneider has
worked with Google, BMW, Ralph Lauren, and
most recently as the Lead Designer at Spotify. Yet
all this comes as sort of a shock considering he
got rejected from every design program he applied
to. The bearded Austrian-raised designer has little
patience for the failings of institutionalized
education.
