View ProfileElise Eekhout
Netherlands (NL)
Before entering the artworld, Elise Eekhout has been a successful graphic designer for over 20 years. Visualizing is her second nature. Letters and texts have always been a source of inspiration and wonder for her. That is why Elise started as a graphic designer. But now, as an artist, she combines this fascination with the images she creates in her artworks. Graphic design, illustration, art. Each is meant to tell a story to the audience: graphic design is used to communicate a message in a very clear way and illustrations are used to support that message. But with her art, Eekhout likes to tell an unfinished story with enough room for you to use your own imagination.

China (CN)
Wang Zhi is a designer living and working in Beijing. He is an art editor at Foreign Languages Press. He believes that a distinctive design can bring people a better life experience and sense of happiness. China's economy and the "Created in China" strategy require designers to have an international vision. Design is also a process of self-cultivation, which is sometimes painful, but happiness always comes along.

Japan (JP)
Find unique cutting in “why”. There are many different ways of thinking about design, but we try to come up with a clear, fresh, and memorable design from an unorganized state. Before designing, I start by recognizing the true state of the product or service and exploring the “why” in the client. By exploring the unique perspectives of “why” with our clients and considering every aspect of the design process, I create brands, packages, and other creative things that are fresh to my customers. And I am constantly evolving and adapting to explore new perspectives. Sukedachi Design was established in Fukuoka in 2013 with the philosophy of “helping people in need of design.” Currently, I am mainly active in graphic design, specializing in product and company branding, identity, and art direction. (“Sukedachi” means to use your own sword to help another samurai in revenge or rivalry situations during the time when samurai were active in Japan.) If you really need a design, I will be on the client’s side and help them in design, like a samurai who helps someone as a “Sukedachi”.
