Born 1988 in Cologne to a furniture conservator and an instrument builder and musician, he was exposed to arts, craft and entrepreneur­ship throughout his childhood.

A visit at the house of one of his hero's Adrian Frutiger consolidated his fasci­nation for Swiss graphic design and ultimately lead to his studies at the prestigious ECAL (University of Art and Design Lausanne) where he graduated in 2011 with a diploma in Visual Communication.

Alongside his studies he interned at Bureau Borsche, worked for 032c magazine and founded his own publication Better Mjstakes.

After graduating Hugo spent a powerful year at Meiré und Meiré being involved with clients including Kenzo Paris, GQ Italia, and Interview Magazine.

In 2013 he returned to independency working for local and international clients as well as pursuing personal projects while teaching at various educational and cultural institutions.

In 2015 Hugo joined 2x4 in their New York City office to work on a wide range of projects for clients including Fondazione Prada, Miu Miu, Hyundai and Sies Marjan.

In the same year he had an exhibition of his work and was awarded as a 2015 Young Gun by the Art Director's Club in NYC.

In 2017 Hugo decided to focus on his own projects and studio again and works for clients throughout the world, while publishing his own magazine PRESENT which was released in 2019.

NIKE AM 180 Concept and design development for a Berlin themed Nike Air Max. I was approached by Nike a shoe concept based on the question: What makes Berlin truly unique to you?
The Air Max 180 BLN is a celebration of Berlin's unique nightlife and music culture — a constant reminder of the rhythm of progress. Its neon elements reference the reverberating rays of light synonymous with club life, and juxtapose those against a gray upper reminiscent of Berlin's brutalist architecture. The transparent outsole reveals the word UNITY on the right foot and FREEDOM on the left, both indicative of the power of music to bring people together and a club scene that allows everyone to be themselves.

Lecture and workshop session for an amazing group of young creatives to talk about the concept, storytelling and realisation the AM 180 BLN for NIKE.

PRESENT is a personal project that I initiated when I was living in New York City in 2016. It is the essence of different passion projects from the past years and an umbrella of my fascinations in life. The first print issue titled People On Process, was launched in summer 2019 and is sold in 15 countries on four continents.

Creative Direction, Editorial Design, Writing, Editing & Publishing — PRESENT Issue 1

PRESENT a magazine about creating and self-reflection where we speak with makers about their path and philosophies in order to demystify the creative process. It's a space for honest conversations about discipline, fear, career paths and confidence. With this project I want to inspire and push, reflect and trigger, motivate and initiate: to get closer to what we want and what we know we need.

To be present, we need the courage to make. Through making, we can discover and uncover ourselves, and realise our limitless potentials. Therefore, PRESENT's first issue is themed around that crucial first step. The moment when you begin doing what it takes to make what you believe in.

It all started with the word PRESENT and its different meanings that build the base of this project. Being present, and appreciating the now. Seeing your work as a gift, being generous towards yourself and the people around you. Presenting your ideas to the world, and never hide what you have inside you.

All PRESENT Apparel is manually screenprinted in our atelier.
