Denise Amann Studio is a multidisciplinary creative practice based in Berlin, working across art direction, editorial design, identity systems, and publishing. The studio approaches design as a mode of thinking and communicating—one that operates across formats and disciplines, and finds form through clarity, precision, and visual resonance.

Each project emerges from a process of careful research and conceptual development. Whether working on publications, visual identities, or editorial frameworks, the studio attends closely to both the formal qualities of design and the cultural, social, and narrative contexts in which it operates. Design is understood not as a fixed outcome, but as a proposition—an opportunity to frame ideas, articulate positions, and create meaning through visual language.

Collaboration lies at the core of the studio’s practice. Denise works closely with artists, photographers, writers, editors, and cultural practitioners, developing projects through dialogue, trust, and shared inquiry. This collaborative approach allows each project to respond sensitively to its specific conditions while maintaining a coherent strategic and conceptual foundation.

Alongside client work, the studio engages in self-initiated editorial projects that explore design’s role in cultural reflection, knowledge production, and social engagement. These projects function as spaces for experimentation and critical inquiry, extending the practice beyond applied contexts.

In parallel to her studio work, Denise is active in education and discourse, contributing through teaching, talks, workshops, mentoring, and jury roles. Her engagement in these contexts reflects a sustained interest in design as a critical practice—one capable of fostering reflection, dialogue, and transformation.
