About
Justin Wijberg is an experimental designer who fearlessly incorporates bold colors and extensive typography into his work, while always prioritizing legibility. Drawing inspiration from his own experiences and those of his peers, he seeks to evoke subconscious emotions through his designs. He strikes a balance between abstract experimentation and narrative images, using various media to convey his messages. Through humor and recognizable scenarios, he challenges viewers to consider alternative perspectives. His ultimate goal is to create work that resonates with his generation and effectively communicates its stories and research.
