About

Kidnap Your Designer is the name of a Brussels graphic design agency.

This studio was founded in 2006 by Caroline°Camille Dath, a graduate of Saint-Luc Liège and erg (École de Recherche Graphique, Brussels). Damien Safie, a classmate from erg, joined her in 2008 as partner. Enz@ Le Garrec teamed up in 2021.

Cultural institutions and associations also missions the studio on their visual communication tools. Kidnap Your Designer also produces experimental and self-produced projects, exhibitions & workshops.

So do as you're told and kidnap your designer if you want great work!
 

• Caroline°Camille (she/her), studio partner, likes to be involved in a thousand projects: from teaching at the erg, to collective practices. She has also brilliantly graduated from a master's degree in Gender Studies and is conducting research on ‘inclusive typography’ (Bye Bye Binary). Her pet projects are mechanics and vintage cars!
   
• Damien (any pronoun), studio partner, also spends time in a teaching practice at the erg, guiding students during their Master in Photography. He has a keen eye for contemporary art which inspires his graphic design. In his spare time he likes to capture surprising elements of reality through photography or to give a second life to stylish objects. He also happens to be a singer!
   
• Enz@ (they/them or she/her), after spending 6 months in the studio as an intern, has join the team in 2022. They finished their master degree on Queer pedagogical practices at ISBA Besançon (F). They bring fresh ideas and styles to the studio practice and is so loving with our clients. They are also a very active member of Bye Bye Binary.
   
• Antonin (he/him) is in charge of the motion design of the projects and is always there to lend a hand when things get hectic. Outside the studio, he has a crazy personal illustration practice all of his own. We recommend you to have a look at his Insta!
   
• Esther (she/her), our beloved colleague, left the studio in 2022 for a bit of adventure.  
   

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!
