Curious about Design in culture, tech and art. Currently ECD at EF in Switzerland

Jaap Smit (1989) is an Independent graphic designer/art director, specialised in book design, identity & logo design, webdesign and more. Next to client projects he works on self-initiated assignments. With his own projects the focus is on structuring facts/data. He utilises freely available information and creates graphic parameters to structure it, resulting in methodically-made and often humorous work. He graduated from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague in 2017, Graphic Design, Bachelor of Arts.

Pieter Boels is a graphic artist looking for meaning in the shapes of language and the language of shapes. His work is an amalgam of graphic design, illustrative hand lettering and calligraphy, with a strong aesthetic sensibility. Working with both analog and digital tools, he's always striving to create something that resonates with people, and to make them do a double take. Since 2012 Pieter runs a one-man studio in Antwerp, Belgium. The projects he engages in range from large and commercial to tiny and artistic (or the other way round) for local and international collaborators, and himself. Together with his partner, Pieter curates a small space for art & design called Rosewood.

My name is Brando Corradini, I am 29 years old and I am a graphic designer. Since my childhood my world was drawing and coloring and this passion of mine led me to undertake higher studies in the artistic field which was followed by a three-year degree in Graphic Design and Visual Communication, achieved in 2013 at the Academy of Fine Arts “RUFA " From Rome. I consider myself completely creative but above all I am an artist. In what I do and in what I am I always want to be free, far from any rule. I don't like certain stakes, even when I worked for companies or other companies, I felt imprisoned within certain rules. I have traveled a lot and this has given me the opportunity to have new experiences. For my works I draw inspiration from everything that surrounds me, from what I live, from what every day passes before my eyes, making life a wonderful muse. Currently I have opened a streetwear clothing line "NOMADE CLOTHING" with Studio Mylab3d, by Damiano Primiceri, a dear friend of mine since the days of art school who is interested in 3D design and modeling. Today I am what I am because, over time, I realized that I didn't want to be just a graphic designer but rather a "graphic artist". I would like to become a person known worldwide: my dream is to have a page on Wikipedia!

Kevin Krautgartner, born and raised in Germany, currently lives and works in Wuppertal. His design studies were based around digital photography, and this continues to provide the basis for his work today. Art can be found in both classical architecture as well as the natural world, and when viewed from different perspectives, a completely new take on what is all around us can be found. This is particularly poignant when seen from a „bird‘s eye“. Natural landscapes and costal areas take on a new life when seen from this perspective.  Kevins work uses both helicopters and light planes to capture these visions, this „art“, from above. He has travelled extensively around the world to capture art from some of the most extraordinary places. His work can be found both in national as well as international exhibitions, is shown in magazines and use to illustrate books. He is an award winning digital photographer, including the EISA, Maestro and the Epson Pano awards.
