Hi! I am Philippe. An interdisciplinary designer based in Leipzig, working across graphic design, type design, photography, illustration, and material based practice. My work is rooted in visual communication and driven by the question of how design can inform, shape perception, and create emotional resonance. I am interested in the way people experience things, both consciously and unconsciously. Visual impressions, textures, light, sound, and atmosphere all influence how we perceive and use spaces, objects, and images. This is where my work begins. I explore everyday conditions and familiar structures in order to understand their effects and shape them with intention.
My practice began in photography and gradually expanded into a broader design approach that includes typography, image making, craft, and conceptual work. Rather than limiting myself to a single discipline, I move between different fields and methods depending on what a project requires. For me, design is not confined to one medium. What matters is the interaction between different forms of expression and their combined impact. Curiosity is at the core of how I work. I am drawn to experimentation, material exploration, and processes that allow ideas to develop through making. I value clarity, sensitivity, and strong concepts, but I also believe that design should be felt, not only understood.
I studied Integrated Design at Hochschule Anhalt in Dessau and am currently continuing my studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig, where I focus on type design. Alongside my studies, I have worked in academic, practical, and self initiated contexts, which have shaped both my way of thinking and my approach to collaboration. I am always interested in collaborations, commissions, and conversations with people who care about thoughtful design, strong ideas, and interdisciplinary exchange.
I am currently working on a proper portfolio website. Until then, if you would like to know more about my work, please do not hesitate to get in touch using the contact details below. I would be pleased to hear from you. By the way, I am fluent in German, French, and English!
