slaws :: susanne laws
slaws is a graphic design studio based in Amsterdam, founded in 1992 by Susanne Laws. After completing her internship with Anthon Beeke and graduating cum laude from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, she established the studio with a strong focus on concept-driven design.
Working independently and in close collaboration with a trusted network of specialists in photography, illustration, copywriting, print production, web development and digital communication, slaws assembles the right expertise for each project.
specialities
Identity design, books, annual reports, magazines, brochures, leaflets, posters, stamps, packaging, exhibitions and campaigns.
The studio offers expertise in editorial design, art direction, curating and production management — guiding projects from first concept to final realization.
approach
slaws works with a wide range of clients, with a particular affinity for cultural, artistic and socially engaged initiatives. The studio enjoys working with people who care about content and value collaboration.
Each project begins with careful listening and curiosity. The design process is concept-led and research-based, yet flexible in form — bold or restrained, depending on what best serves the content.
Clear communication, humor and full engagement are essential in every collaboration.
