About
For each project the studio develops its graphic design around an idea, a concept closely related to the subject involved.
Graphic design should not exist without ideas. When sense makes graphic-design then design-graphic makes sense.

About the studio
Kidnap Your Designer is a Brussels creative studio combining art direction, editorial design, type design, web, motion, and signage. This multidisciplinary expertise enables us to develop visual identities, books, and communication materials for professionals in the fields of culture, publishing, art, and architecture.
Our studio is defined by its human-scale structure. We prioritize a close and collaborative approach, where each project becomes an opportunity for a meaningful relationship with our partners. Our network of talented illustrators, photographers, scenographers, developers, coders, and printers enables us to build trusted collaborations tailored to each project. We are actively engaged in contemporary feminist and queer creative initiatives. Open and receptive, we are particularly drawn to projects that foster emancipation and help expand the scope of graphic design.
Our experience has led us to collaborate with numerous artistic and cultural institutions, including: Les Ateliers Médicis, Théâtre La Balsamine, Théâtre Varia, FAME Festival, Pink Screens Festival, the Mode et Dentelle museum, SPL Euralille, the Brussels Bouwmeester Maître Architecte, Design Museum Brussels, Wallonie-Bruxelles Design Mode, Wallonie-Bruxelles Enseignement...
So do as you're told and kidnap your designer if you want great work! And don't worry mom, dad. We won't be really kidnaped... well, we hope so! K.Y.D. is an allusion to ‘Kill your Idols’ as well as many other stuff... So don't panic and carry on scrolling!
