In-depth portraits of designers working today.

Randy Hunt
by Lindsay Ballant
When I grab a coffee with designer Randy Hunt in a café near his studio, we quickly lose track of time. We digress into business models, corporate social responsibility, and mass marketing... More
Michael Freimuth
by Lindsay Ballant
Lumpen needed some oomph. The underground magazine had been a staple in Chicago’s art and activist community for nearly two decades, and its editors were ready to take its design to the next level. Enter Michael Freimuth... More
Ana Bagayan
by Colin Berry
When she was 6 years old, Ana Bagayan and her family moved from the Armenian capital of Yerevan to a place halfway around the world: Burbank, California—suburban... More
Stephan Walter
by Jude Stewart
Gazing too long at Stephan Walter’s illustrations could leave you reeling. Their focal points are hard to pin down; they might be best viewed by distant birds with madly telescopic night vision.... More
Topos Graphics
by Caitlin Dover

Mario Hugo
by Sue Apfelbaum
If you find a used book with its flyleaves removed, there’s a good chance Mario Hugo is responsible. The 25-year-old artist, designer, and illustrator often spends his weekends rummaging... More
Fwis
by Peter Terzian
“We both have the same end goal in mind,” says Pieratt. “To do the best design that’s ever been seen,” continues Papasadero. Adds Pieratt, “We have these harebrained ideas, and if we don’t do them ourselves... More
Bob Chen
by Daniel Elsea
Hangzhou, a city of 4 million, is a two-hour train ride from Shanghai and has long been a hub of Chinese artistic talent. Its famed West Lake dominates the city center and is a recurring theme in Chinese art, as well as... More
Mark Kudsi
by Steve Dollar
Mark Kudsi’s rise through the ranks at Motion Theory, the Venice, California–based design and production house, has been as mercurial as the fast-moving, gestural show-and-tell maneuvers in the campaign... More
