One Moment, Elsewhere

Jens Mennicke Studio is the independent practice of designer and artist Jens Mennicke, working at the intersection of art and design. Over 20 years of award-winning experience inform a body of work spanning visual identities, publishing, image-making and artistic production. The studio collaborates with individuals and companies to develop tailored visual work. Its approach is curious, collaborative and purposeful. Projects develop through dialogue, research and sustained engagement with context, content and form — resulting in work that is thoughtful, precise and recognisable.
