SEBASTIAN
KERN

A graphic designer and illustrator keeping things simple, thoughtful and grounded in the natural world.

01

BUILT ON DESIGN

Sebastian Kern is a graphic designer who completed his studies in media design in 2012.

Since then, he has focused his work on corporate design and illustration, developing visual systems that are clear, considered and easy to understand.

02

NATURE DOES MOST OF THE TALKING

Nature is the primary source of inspiration behind Sebastian’s work.

Organic forms, natural balance and the quiet structure found outdoors regularly make their way into his illustrations and design work.

03

SIMPLE, NOT EMPTY

Combined with minimalism, Sebastian’s nature-inspired approach allows him to keep his work simple and easy.

Nothing is added simply to fill space. Every shape, line and element has to earn its place.

LESS STUFF. MORE REASON.

04

MORE THAN GRAPHICS

Away from the screen, Sebastian is a father, husband, Star Wars fan, hobby photographer, forest person and writer.

All of it feeds back into the work: observation, storytelling, curiosity and the ability to notice what other people might walk past.
