Vanderbyl was one of the artists in the early 1980s that helped establish the San Francisco Bay Area as a center of the postmodern movement in graphic design. In the early 1980s a few San Francisco–based designers were nicknamed “The Michaels” because they all had the same name (Vanderbyl alongside, Cronan, Mabry, Manwaring, Schwab), and later they were known as the "[[Pacific Wave]]" according to historian Steven Heller. [1] [5] [6] [7]
In 1973, he established his own practice, Vanderbyl Design. [8] He has designed products for, among others, McGuire Furniture, [9] and HBF. [10]
