People are central to the work of Studio Anne Ligtenberg. The designers make difficult subjects open for discussion and thereby stimulate mutual understanding and resilience. The design studio distinguishes itself through an empathic approach and works primarily in the social domain to improve people's well being.
"I feel I have to make a contribution to society. This determines which assignments I accept, but also what I do in my free work. A lot of my projects are related to my personal situation or surroundings. If not, I delve deeper into the subject until it is familiar territory. I see the problems and people's experiences up close and therefore I tend to look for solutions as a designer."
"As a designer, you're always dependent on the people you work with. People and their situations - which they choose to share with me - are my sources. First I want to understand the circumstances and this understanding always comes first. Only then does the actual designing start."
