Bureau Grusenmeyer is an independent graphic design studio founded by Lauren Grusenmeyer. With a strong focus on the development of visual identities Grusenmeyer works in the wider field of graphic design from printed matter, to exhibition design and webdesign. Her work is established in close dialogue with clients and ranges from cultural to commercial commissions.
Grusenmeyer achieved her MA in graphic design in 2009 at Sint Lucas Visual Arts Ghent and completed her education with a master’s degree at the Design Department of the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam. From 2009 to 2015 she founded Cox & Grusenmeyer together with Ines Cox, a collaboration where self-initiated projects such as performances and installations were the basis alongside commissions for the cultural sector. In 2012 they received a Starting Grant for Design from the Mondriaan Fund in the Netherlands. In February 2011 their book ‘Open Impact Channel – Business Plan became laureate of the Best Designed Books in the Netherlands. In 2016 Grusenmeyer set up her independent studio Bureau Grusenmeyer from which she now operates.
In addition to her daily practice Grusenmeyer is a tutor at Sint Lucas Antwerp and KASK School of Arts Ghent. She has lectured internationally and has led several workshops. At Sint Lucas Antwerp she conducts research and is co-founder of the research platform ‘The Hybrid Designer’ exploring cross-over design practices.
