Profile

Founded in 2008 fertig design is an award-winning design studio based in Berlin. We develop reasoned design concepts for all types of media. We specialize in visual identity, web and event design. Working with a network of experts we create campaigns, websites, printed matter and real-life environments.

As designers we believe in collaboration and open exchange with our clients. We listen carefully because we need to fully understand a project's intentions so that we can find the right form. We value intelligent ideas and precise execution. We strive to make complex topics accessible. We understand minimalism as an agent for wit, inclusion and participation with both design and content. We don’t just create, we often direct, sometimes advise, we mediate and conceptualise.

We always try to materialise our designs in sustainable ways. Last but not least, we are open to donating our time, skills and resources to initiatives, organisations or individuals fighting for social equity, justice or environmental issues.
