Daniel Barleben — Media Design & Visual Art

Info

Media designer and visual artist
based near Cologne, Germany

A

I always loved taking things apart and putting them back together differently. Now I create websites, brand identities, and the occasional physical object. I design and develop with minimalism and simplicity as my guiding principles, because the world is complicated enough as it is.

B

I like working with local or small businesses who are looking for design that genuinely means something, and with people building open-source or independent projects where the design process has room to breathe.

C

I believe the web should be decentralized, open, and genuinely weird. The internet is at its best when it’s a place for independent voices, personal spaces, and things that don’t fit neatly into a template. I care about building things that are owned by the people who make them, not the platforms that host them.
