He has coauthored two books on the circular economy and published widely in international journals. His most recent book, The Future Designer: Anthropology Meets Innovation in Search of Sustainable Design (Routledge, 2024), positions him at the forefront of critical conversations on design for social innovation and humanitarian design. Leube’s forwardlooking approach to design education— grounded in resilience, ethical responsibility, and cultural insight—has earned him invitations to lecture at top design and architecture schools across Europe, as well as to consult with international firms including IDEO and Fjord. His TED talk, “Why Designers Should Urgently Listen to Anthropologists,” further underscores his ability to translate anthropological thinking into actionable strategies for designers and innovators. Over the course of his career, Leube has held faculty appointments at leading institutions such as IE University, the University of California, Santa Clara University, the London School of Economics, Syracuse University, and the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences. His international teaching and research underscore his influence in shaping a new generation of designers equipped to meet the complex demands of a sustainable future. 16 Born in 1963, Samuel Roux began his graphic design studies in the early 1980s—a dynamic, pre-digital era marked by freedom and creativity. From the beginning, he was deeply inspired by music and visual culture, passions that continue to shape his career both as a visual artist and as a performer in a punk band based in Orléans. After graduating in 1986 from the Orléans Visual Arts Institute, Roux launched his career as a freelance designer, focusing primarily on cultural and social events. He quickly discovered a strong affinity for poster design and visual identity, developing a body of work that spans jazz and rock festivals, symphonic orchestras, scientific exhibitions, human rights conferences, and public awareness campaigns on social issues such as addiction care. Over the years, he has been commissioned by Town Councils, Ministries, and numerous cultural institutions. Since 2000, Roux has shared his expertise as a professor of graphic design at the Orléans School of Art and Design (ESAD). He is actively engaged in international workshops, lectures, and teaching exchanges, and his work has been exhibited at design festivals and exhibitions worldwide. As an educator, Roux is known for his commitment to nurturing students’ critical perspectives and artistic voices. He emphasizes the importance of research, authenticity, and ethics in design, encouraging young designers to create work that is both visually compelling and socially meaningful.
