we treat every project like a publication.

aftermodern.lab is a design studio working across publications, exhibitions, environments, and products. we build systems that can hold a lot of information and still feel quiet.

selected work

a short index of systems, spaces, and objects. long-term collaborations with festivals, institutions, and companies who care what things look like and how they are read.

mapping, motion, exhibition graphics, and wayfinding that transform a space, a block, or an entire city.

typography

type systems that carry more than words.

custom typefaces, typographic edits, and refinements to existing identities — work that sharpens how language is seen, not just read.

type design - typographic direction - editorial systems - portfolio
web and motion

critical making between people and digital spaces.

we don't make motion, we evoke emotion and if-m.works creates digital experiences that redefine what "web" means.

books and publications

editorial systems with sequence and quiet.

books and publications where pacing, rhythm, and the quiet parts all matter.

approach

we practice purposeful visual communication; design for the way people actually move through information and space.

some projects are books, some are rooms, some are lineups. the work is to make each of those legible without losing the parts that make them specific.

studio

aftermodern.lab is a small, award-winning studio working between cultural and commercial contexts. we build typographic systems, exhibition experiences, and product lines that share the same spine: considered, rigorous, and a little irreverent.

the studio operates as an embedded partner — extending internal teams for festivals, institutions, and companies who treat design as part of the thinking, not just the wrapping.
