Flashback Tuesday: Kate Moross, TYPO Berlin 2013

In her presentation at TYPO Berlin 2013, “There Is No Wall”, Kate Moross gives us “The punk rock guide to business!” What does the punk approach to work entail? Being good at bullshitting. Or to put it in a less in-your-face way – being adept at the art of improvisation.

Kate Moross is a graphic artist, art director and filmmaker from London who has a fascination with three-sided shapes, illegible typography, and freeform lettering. She has worked prolifically within the music industry designing for artists and labels such as Tom Vek, Zomby, Hearts Revolution, EMI, Sony, Island and Warner. She also works as art director for Simian Mobile Disco, Jessie Ware and L-Vis 1990. Her commercial clients include Nike, Kiehl’s, Glastonbury, Nokia, and Cadbury. At the start of 2012 Moross set up a new creative design practice, Studio Moross, expanding her team and working with some of the freshest new design talent.

Kate Moross looks at ways of breaking down the illusion of creative and professional fear, and teaches us how to improvise around it. Because the biggest inhibitors to a successful project and design career can be your own self-limitations.
