Biography

Hello! My name is Kilian (he/him) and I'm a graphic designer and artist based in London. My practice moves between playfulness and critique, often using humour to approach questions of collective responsibility. We're in this together, remember? I work in response to stimuli around me—books, conversations, street signs, or passing thoughts. The direction isn’t always clear at first, but emerges through making. This process is rooted in research and takes form across media including UV printing, letterpress, creative coding, and interactive installations. Recently, I've been developing The Department of Masculinity, imagining futures where men know how to be men. Grayson Perry's writing has been especially influential in shaping this work. Staying grounded, I realise my life and creative pursuits basically merge into one. Like a Venn diagram with only overlap. Because every moment counts. Even the Sunday techno rave at FOLD.
