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.

Louisa is a journalist and graphic designer based in London, where she was born and raised. With both parents of Hong Kong origin and half a dozen visits later, Louisa has grown to love the once British colony of 150 years. Travel guides will tell you Hong Kong is a place of shopping/eating, and whilst sampling new wave Asian desserts is still high on the agenda, Louisa prefers to spend her time there documenting the cultural differences between the England and China.
