He has taught at several universities, held lectures and workshops around the world and was a professor at Bern University of the Arts.

To achieve this, he chooses the technique that can be used best to interpret the content, be it typography, drawing, painting or photography. All of the works illustrated here were created solely by Stephan Bundi.
He participated in international poster biennales as poster artist and jury member. Bundi won first prizes in Chicago, Mexico, Mons (Belgium), New York, Sofia, Vienna, the ICOGRADA Excellence Award in Warsaw and received the Swiss Poster Award several times.
