Ossian Osborne

[ow:shn oz:bawrn] is a German-Scottish communication designer. His work branches between editorial design, visual identity, and creative (co-) direction, often developed collaboratively with friends and strangers. Ossian’s practice highlights a research-driven yet intuitive process that is systematic in method and flavoured with a taste of mischief. For inquiries, collaborations, or a delicious snack, feel free to get in touch.
