Hello!

My name is Esben Garder. I'm a designer who likes to make all kinds of stuff. When I'm not working or thinking up crazy ideas, I hang out with my lovely wife and son. I love to ride my skateboard, take photos, and collect little things that inspire me.

My background is originally in graphic design and communication, but I have been venturing into the world of illustration, fashion design, art and many other genres of design... Just because I love the idea of making things and making things happen.

I design stuff…

In a nutshell, that means that I sit at my shiny Apple computer all day long creating snazzy designs for cool folks - It's great!

However, it is much more complicated than that, there’s all this business about typography, composition, grids, space, form, colour theory, semantics and usability to consider (and that’s just for starters). Luckily I’ve spent my lifetime so far completely filling my brain with all this creative goodness, so I can make things that not only look cool, but also solve a problem and make things work in the real world.

Just for you?

I love creating custom brands, identities and logo designs from scratch, but I also enjoy producing the odd t-shirt graphic, illustration or character design. I pride myself in having the skills of working with my own two hands, as well as being knowledgeable in the print side of design.

If you'd like to work with me or want to say hello, or write me a song, feel free to contact me.

Thanks for your visit, I hope you enjoy your stay!
