Philipp Schäfer is a visual communication designer and creative & art director who works and resides in Berlin, Germany. The freelance professional has been immersed in skateboarding and street culture since the early 2000s. To this day, he remains fascinated by the wooden toy and its subcultures, which continually inspire him and provide him with a large network of multiple creative resources that he can rely upon.

This authentic background characterizes Philipp’s artistic concepts and elevates his work with an uncompromising drive, adding a raw and analogue energy to all of his original designs, artworks, and projects.
