ABOUT ALEX LIBOTTE

Alex Libotte is a Berlin-based Creative Director, Senior Creative Advisor and Artist working across identity, communication and visual exploration. What interests him most is understanding what something actually is before shaping how it is expressed. The atmosphere in and around a place, the tension fields within a project, the cultural realities around a brand and the feeling that something is beginning to change, that something has to change. His work often starts there, through investigation, conversation, observation and experimentation. Sometimes it takes the form of creative direction, sometimes advisory work, sometimes photography and image-making as a way of understanding and communicating. More and more, his attention is drawn toward work that engages more deeply with human experience, culture, participation, contribution and the role brands can play within this beyond communication and selling alone. Over the past 15 years, he has worked across Europe and Latin America with companies, founders and institutions, developing creative concepts, identity systems and experiences for clients including Nike, Google, Itaú Unibanco and The Coca-Cola Company. Together with Adriana Takeuchi Libotte, he co-founded Space Of Hearts, an evolving space and prototype for more human, generative and connected ways of living, caring, relating, creating and gathering. Alongside client work, he occasionally teaches experimental design and process-based creativity at the Freie Schule für Gestaltung in Hamburg. Based in Berlin and working internationally.
