A short video is available on YouTube.[2]
He got several awards, at most three in one week. [3]
A few of them are listed here.[4][5]

I wrote 1996 in the subject field because that was the year I made a
wikisite with tabbed interface, and experimented with a paper-like
design in Xt. More or less what designers today would call a material
design. The present design is what I would call Monobook 2.0, and that
imply a 15 year old design. Monobook was rolled out in 2004-2005 if I
remember correctly.
At nowiki we had a discussion with a designer from The Oslo School of
Architecture and Design around 2009, and he come up with a really nice
design. The design at SNL (the other Norwegian lexicon) starts to look
more and more like it. The design proposal was deemed to radical and
to simple for Wikipedia. He got several awards for the design.
No, I'm not a designer, but I do like good design.
