Syd Mead

Employee wellness and development

On August 9, 2023, the Steel Stories podcast hosted Roger Servick, close partner and now President of SydMead.com. Syd Mead (1933–2019) was one of the most influential industrial designers of his time. He was well known for neo-futuristic designs and concept art, which led to him working on hit blockbuster films such as Blade Runner, Aliens, and Tron. In this episode, we explored Syd’s extraordinary life and visionary work with U. S. Steel in the 1960s that launched an incredible career.
