Pascal Raabe

A creative geek and digital native with a broad toolkit of skills and a passion to create new things and help shaping the future through clever design across disciplinary boundaries.

After three years of hands-on experience in print production, four years of academic study in graphic design, digital media and information design at the University of the West of England, the Zurich University of the Arts in Switzerland and the University College Falmouth I gained experience through working with the prestigious SZ-Magazin in Munich, the award-winning multidisciplinary design studio City ID in Bristol and through freelance design work for clients ranging from start-ups to multinational corporations.
