About the studio
Order is a form
of generosity.
(01) Bio
Twelve years,
two cities, one grid.
Mara Keller studied visual communication at ZHdK in Zürich and type design at KABK in The Hague. After six years at Studio Brandt in Basel, she opened her own practice in 2014.
The studio is small on purpose: Mara, two designers and a trusted network of developers and printers. Every project is led by Mara from the first sketch to the final file.
