C B D S is a graphic design studio run by Isabelle Gehrmann and Stefan Ruetz. Besides design research our personal backgrounds in art and architecture enrich our approach to creating visual impacts.

We love developing identities,
websites, books and magazines
BY
listening, researching,
conceptualizing and experimenting
TO
convey values, give things a visual voice and create relevant and successful communication.

The studio was founded in 2007.
It is based in Hamburg.
