Lou Hillereau is a Berlin-based visual designer working with an open approach in art direction, concept development, print and digital design. Her practice combines an analytic approach with a visual sensibility to develop innovative ideas, consistent systems and unique atmospheres.
Collaborations with other creative professionals & studios are an important part of her practice. As much as her personal graphic experiments, which arise from a perpetual need to question the obvious and test out hypothesis. Both gives her resources to diversify her work and widen her skills.
She is currently working as a part of Studio Yukiko.
Experience
After gaining experience with design studios in Paris & Berlin, such as Leslie David, Panatom, Studio Martin Sebald and Gallimard Jeunesse, I worked with Das Büro des Präsidenten during two years before switching to freelance in 2017.
