visual communications and branding studio

Hi, I'm Svenja. I founded büro svenja in 2011, working with a network of collaborators specializing in brand strategy, web programming, graphic design, illustration, animation, photography, printing and copywriting. Depending on the scope of the project, I collaborate with any combination of these to arrive at the most appropriate results for my clients.

What clients say

"Svenja is more than an excellent designer, she is a partner who helps us convey information clearly. She 'gets' us—she knows our audience, the ins and outs of our complex work, and how to differentiate our brand visually. In the six years we've worked with Svenja, she has built our brand guidelines, redesigned our website, and consistently creates beautiful assets, such as publications, one-pagers, funder reports, and more. Thanks to Svenja, our digital presence feels innovative while consistently fitting within the landscape of our visual identity."

Springpoint Schools

"Svenja is incredibly talented, creative and efficient. She has assisted my nonprofit client build an entirely new brand look and personality for their main identity and their program possibilities, including a very popular business incubator. She is fast, responsive and very easy to work with. I will recommend her work to anyone and continue to invite her to be a part of my projects. Thank you, Svenja!"
