Munday is the author of Don’t Sleep: The Urgent Messages of Oliver Munday. You can read an in-depth piece on Munday and his book from The Paris Review.
He co-founded “Piece,” a socially based design collaborative, with Bernard Canniffe and Mike Weikert. Piece believes that designers can play a significant role in positive change and social justice. Munday studied design at MICA under Bernard Canniffe, “a proponent of Blue Collar Design Theory, which encourages designers to partner with local institutions” (-The Paris Review).
Munday’s work has been recognized by many major design publications including PRINT, CMYK, The Type Director’s Club, Communication Arts, STEP magazine’s 25 freshest minds in design, and Young Guns 7. In 2010, he was named as one of PRINT magazine’s “20 under 30,” in the new visual artists issue.
