I’m Lena Katharina.

Which “rules” do I consciously break and why?
Playing surgeon on individual letters within a word to create new glyphs. This creates an interesting contrast without loosing its readability. And putting pineapple on pizza (I guess).

Music that inspires me:
To reach flow state: Classic, Instrumental Hip Hop and movie soundtracks
To eat and relax: Jazz / Swing Jazz and Indie / Psychedelic Rock
To dance on weekends: Techno & House / Acid House

Movies that inspire me:
Movies by Wes Anderson including Annie Atkins as graphic designer / prop maker
A24 movies like Marty Supreme or Everything Everywhere all at once
Movies by Yorgos Lanthimos like Bugonia, Poor Thing or The Favourite
Movies by Adrian Goiginger like The Fox (Der Fuchs)
Movies by Gints Zilbalodis like Flow or Away

What “good design” means in everyday life to me:
Good design tickles something in my brain, is making my life easier and creates a spark of creativity in me. Good design follows function but never forgets to be playful and soulful too.

Three things to know before working with me
1. I wear my heart on my sleeve and will always choose to be direct instead of passive.
2. My work is a part of my identity and I appreciate constructive feedback.
3. My work ethic is on a outstandingly high level and I absolutely expect that from others.
