Stina Frenz (born 1996, Bremen) moves between analytical structure and open, intuitive action in her work. She understands design as a collaborative practice that makes perspectives visible and opens up spaces for participation and joint creation. After completing a bachelor's degree in book and type design at the Muthesius University of Fine Arts and Design in Kiel, she completed her master's degree in graphic and digital design at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg. At the same time, she worked as a student trainee for type designer Albert-Jan Pool, which shaped her typographic thinking and design precision. Today, she lives and works as a graphic designer at Cin Cin, Creative Studios in Vienna. @stina_vier
