Jakob Schäfer

HI I'M JAKOB

I am a multidisciplinary designer with a focus on Illustration, Storytelling, and Animation. I love to play with language and turn things upside down.

I believe design doesn’t have to be complicated. It should be smart, intuitive, and above all, feel right and be fun!

I’m always curious, love experimenting, and believe with an open eye you can find joy in the most mundane things. Currently I am working and living in Würzburg Germany.

If you’re looking to create something that feels right and is fun, let’s talk!
