Sophie Czich is a designer and a visual artist.

From concept to production, her design approach emphasises curiosity, precision and iteration, always with a clear and open communication. She works independently, and is primarily engaged with clients in the fields of education, culture and art. She is also a long-term collaborator of Atelier Delcourt. Commissioned projects include – but are not limited to – editorial design, visual identities, information design, scenography, and mixed media installations.
