"As designers we give content a shape – almost always a nice one."

Julia Landsiedl started her design career with a Master’s in Law – as a copywriter in advertising and branding. She went on to study Product- and Processdesign in Vienna and Berlin and left Europe to work for design consultancy IDEO in Silicon Valley.

She returned to Vienna to open her own studio in 2009. Since then the studio has worked on a variety of cross-disciplinary design & innovation projects, both with clients and independently. Its main focus is three dimensional storytelling – developing and staging the stories, services and spaces that surround an object or a brand. Julia Landsiedl believes in a human-centered, socially responsible approach to design.

Her design work has won a number of prestigious design awards and been published both in Austria and abroad. Teaching assignments: Technical University Vienna, New Design University (Fotos: Christian Benesch, kollektivfischka/VDW).
