• Peter Seitz, AIGA Minnesota's first AIGA Fellow, at interdisciplinary design firm InterDesign, Minneapolis (Peter is a graduate of Ulm HfG and Yale) Note: Patrick Redmond is cited in the book Peter Seitz: Designing a Life by Peter Seitz, with essays by Andrew Blauvelt, Kolean Pitner, Bruce N. Wright, and Pamela Johnson, Editors. (Minneapolis, Minnesota: Minneapolis College of Art & Design, 2007).

Originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Patrick was a student in the Milwaukee Art Center's – now known as the Milwaukee Art Museum – Children's Art Program, where he studied in the then-new Eero Saarinen-designed mid-century modernist building overlooking Lake Michigan. The Milwaukee Art Center was located in the Milwaukee County War Memorial Center. The Saarinen-designed architecture was photographed by Balthazar Korab.

Patrick is a graduate of Pius XI High School (now known as Pius XI Catholic High School), Milwaukee, a school recognized regionally and nationally for its exceptional art program, among other distinctions. Pius XI High School has received the U.S. Department of Education National "Blue Ribbon School" Award. He received a Strathmore Award for Graphic Design in the national Scholastic Art Awards competition, was a member of the National Honor Society, and Vice President of the school’s Future Teachers of America (FTA) chapter (a position that included the FTA tutoring program for the high school). Receiving a Strathmore Award for Graphic Design was an honor that was one of the influences on his decision to become a graphic designer. 

As a senior in high school, Patrick also participated in the "Big Buddy" Program at Pius which paired seniors with freshman students with a goal of easing the transition to high school for freshman. Many years before an unrelated initiative – "Art Buddies"^® (www.artbuddies.org) – took shape in Minnesota (in which Patrick has not been involved and which is unaffiliated with either Pius XI Catholic High School or the late Father Carney), The Big Buddy Program was started in the 1960s at Pius XI Catholic High School, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by Father Robert Carney, SAC (SAC = Society of Catholic Apostolate [Pallotines: www.sacapostles.org]).

A Minnesota resident since 1968 when he moved from Wisconsin to attend the Minneapolis School of Art ­– later known as MCAD, the Minneapolis College of Art & Design – for his first two years of college,  he regards his years at MCAD as having provided an excellent foundation for his future career. He was honored to have received a “full-tuition, books, and supplies grant” for the first year. He had also been included on the Dean's List. Aribert Munzner, Barry Le Va, Margit Rowell, Siah Armajani, Robin Fox, Herb Grika, Esther Townsend (Malabel), Ruth Justus, Birney Quick, and Ron Seichrist [founder of Portfolio Center and Miami Ad School], Roman Verostko, Frank Dreisbach, John Thoreen, James C. White, Robert Paul, Arnold Herstand, and Joe Zimbrolt, were among what he describes as "the truly amazing, diverse, inspiring mix" of his "mentors and/or influences" during this unique, creative, convergent "moment" in history at MCAD. Patrick is included among the "MCAD Alumni Profiles" at the MCAD website.

He transferred to the University of Minnesota where he received Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, the former at the time in the University’s “University College” innovative University Without Walls program [later known as the Program for Individualized Learning, now known as the Inter-College Program, ICP, in the University’s College of Continuing Education, now known as the College of Continuing and Professional Studies, CCAPS, www.ccaps.umn.edu] with its emphasis on self-directed, independent study, “learning how to learn” and “learning as a lifelong process." Patrick was one of the earlier graduates of this program (1973). (See https://ccaps.umn.edu/story/alumnus-receives-graphic-design-award).

He earned the latter, the Master of Arts degree (1990) – primarily as a part-time graduate student over several years due to multiple professional and personal commitments – in Design, Housing, and Apparel (renamed the Department of "Graphic Design, Apparel Design, Retail Merchandising, and Product Design" in fall of 2022, according to the University of Minnesota College of Design website), in the Design, Housing, and Apparel Graduate Program (later known as The Design Graduate Program), starting in Design, in what was then the University’s College of Home Economics, which, in 1990, became the College of Human Ecology, a department that is now part of the University’s College of Design – with an emphasis in applied design/visual communication… graphic design. His interests included theoretical and practical influences on the creative concept development process in graphic design as visual communication. Co-advisors for his Master's degree program at the University of Minnesota were Artists/Professors Eugene Larkin and Marian-Ortolf Bagley.

Three years after receiving his Master’s degree as well as after holding corporate and agency positions, he returned to academia. He was accepted into the doctoral program at the University of Minnesota and began coursework toward a PhD (1993-1994), with an emphasis on the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary designer. His emerging focus was on the interdisciplinary work of Arts & Crafts movement figurehead William Morris, in particular his lecture “The Lesser Arts”. This lecture was, in some ways, a forerunner of Harriet and Vetta Goldstein’s Art In Everyday Life, a foundation of the University of Minnesota’s College of Home Economics Related Arts program and Department of Design, Housing and Apparel. Regents Professor Joanne B. Eicher, PhD, was advisor for his doctoral studies at the University of Minnesota.

Involved in design education with emphasis on creativity, professional development, and business, as well as theoretical and practical influences on design process, Patrick also taught numerous and varied courses (see "Teaching" for details) – including “Design Process: Creativity” which he was instrumental in proposing, developing and teaching for the first time – part-time, often evenings, at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities (16 years), in particular during the transition from traditional “pre-computer, pre-digital” approaches to computer and digital methods—for example, as part of his classes, he was the first to incorporate field trips to the Apple™ computer regional offices [to use the then-new Mac 512 and MacPlus™ Macintosh computers] and to COMCEPT Computer Graphics [see Redmond, Patrick. "Comcept," Graphic Design: USA, New York, Vol. 19, No. 6, June 1984, p. 4], and later was one of the first there to integrate the use of the internet and online course material in his courses; the College of Visual Arts, where he taught Graphic Design and Ideation and where he was the first to include computer graphics in the courses he taught at CVA; MCAD; Augsburg Weekend College; and "Wisconsin's Polytechnic University" University of Wisconsin–Stout.  He was the first person, as creative art director in the Art & Design Group, Norwest Corporate Graphics, Norwest Corporation – later known as Wells Fargo ­– to include use of a Macintosh computer before they were generally accepted at the corporation's Art and Design Group. 

During summer 2000, Patrick served as a mentor for the University of Minnesota Multicultural Undergraduate Research Program – now known as the Multicultural Summer Research Opportunities Program (MSROP) at the University of Minnesota. 

Patrick successfully led the initiative to form a college [student] chapter of the American Advertising Federation (AAF) and served as a faculty adviser for the "Minneapolis Business College, A Bradford School, Advertising Design Club, American Advertising Federation (AAF)." He nominated two Minneapolis Business College (MBC) students for the "AAF 2001 Outstanding Minority Students Award Program" and they were included on the Honor Roll for this program [see AdvertisingAge magazine, February 19, 2001]. He successfully led the initiative and made arrangements for MBC Graphic Design students to attend the 2001 Printing Industries of Minnesota [PIM] Career & Job Fair, another first for MBC. He successfully led the initiative for MBC to be included in Format [at the time, known as the "leading advertising magazine for Minnesota and Upper Midwest"] magazine's special issue on "creative services companies" and prepared a small space ad for MBC promoting the Graphic Design Program for the same issue of Format, another first for MBC. Patrick also served as Co-Chair of the Minneapolis Business College Graphic Design Program Advisory Board. In this role, he served as a key recruiter of influential leaders in the Twin Cities graphic design, marketing, graphic arts and advertising communities to serve as members of this advisory board. 

He has been a visiting designer/artist, guest speaker, presenter, or panelist at various schools, colleges and universities including:
