For each project the studio develops its graphic design around an idea, a concept closely related to the subject involved. When sense makes graphic-design then design-graphic makes sense. This studio was founded in 2006 by Caroline°Camille Dath, a graduate of Saint-Luc Liège and erg (École de Recherche Graphique, Brussels). Damien Safie, a classmate from erg, joined her in 2008 as partner. Esther
Poch teamed up permanently in 2018. The studio produces creative works using typography and printing techniques for clients from the music, art, design or architecture fields. Cultural institutions and associations also missions the studio on their visual communication tools. Kidnap Your Designer also produces experimental and self-produced projects, exhibitions & workshops. So do as you're told and kidnap your designer if you want great work! The team
Caroline°Camille, studio partner, likes to be involved in a thousand projects: from teaching at the erg, to collective practices. She has also taken up a master's degree in Gender Studies and is conducting research on ‘inclusive typography’ (Bye Bye Binary). Her pet projects are mechanics and vintage cars! Damien, studio partner, also spends time in a teaching practice at the erg, in a transdisciplinary class. He has a keen eye for contemporary art which inspires his graphic design. In his spare time he likes to capture surprising elements of reality through photography or to give a second life to stylish objects. He also happens to be a singer! Esther joined the practice permanently in 2018; she does a wonderful job of running the studio and guiding projects through to their conclusion. She chooses colour schemes better than anyone, and has a good eye for graphic design compositions. She also enjoys ceramics in her spare time. Enzo, after spending 6 months in the studio as an intern, will join the team in 2022. They are currently finishing their Master Degree on Queer pedagogical practices at ISBA Besançon (F). We are looking forward to being united in Brussels soon. Antonin is in charge of the motion design of the projects and is always there to lend a hand when things get hectic. Outside the studio, he has a crazy personal illustration practice all of his own. We recommend you to have a look at his Insta! And don't worry mom & dad! We won't be really kidnaped...
Well we hope! is an allusion to
‘Kill your Idols’ as well as many other stuff...
