Founded by Emily Oberman and Bonnie Siegler, Number Seventeen is a multi-disciplinary design firm working in print, television and online. Their projects include opening sequences for Saturday Night Live, the Daily Beast website, Lucky Magazine and the Sex in the City book. Using projects, including their own column in Newsweek, their comic strips, and more traditional design work, they use the occasion of their 17th year in business to take a look backwards to “see what the hell it is that we have done.”



With support from AIGA Detroit – the professional association for design.



This lecture took place on March 17, 2011 as part of the University of Michigan School of Art & Design’s Penny W. Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series.

Stamps, the Speaker Series brings respected emerging and established artists/designers from a broad spectrum of media to the School to conduct a public lecture and engage with students, faculty, and the larger University and Ann Arbor communities.
