My name is Kimberly Koch. I'm Austrian, live in Switzerland and grew up in America. Currently I'm working as a graphic designer and illustrator in Switzerland.
After my basic education I went to GBS School of Arts and Design St. Gallen (Switzerland) for an year long art foundation (Gestalterischer Vorkurs) where I discovered my passion for various forms of visual communication. I then studied graphic design in 2014. Ever since I work as an graphic designer in the advertising agency Level East in Rorschach (Switzerland).

The first one is a leporello containing all the artist’s work. The second part contains all of the corresponding texts and essays. I decided to sew
