studio abdel am meer specializes in bringing illustrative ideas to life through drawing, typography and material to create captivating, engaging and tailored aesthetics that resonate with diverse audiences.
With drawing as a relatable and personal tool, colorful shapes and textures, I create objects, characters, and lettering that blend with typography and layout across various formats— visual identities, books, spatial, interactive, and animated platforms. My portfolio includes works such as "Living Systems," an illustrated and interactive simulation for the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, the comprehensive corporate design of the ABK Stuttgart, or the exhibition design for Narrating Africa at the German Literature Archive in Marbach.
My work is grounded in thorough research and personal exchange with all participants through clear, direct communication. I begin each project with collaborative workshops to establish a strong conceptual foundation. From concept to completion, I guide the entire process, drawing on my network of other creatives, coders, and printers when needed.
I studied communication design at the Stuttgart State Academy of Arts and Design and at the Tokyo University of the Arts.

Through workshops, artist residencies, and teaching, I explore my interests, such as experiment and speculation with drawing, AI embodiment and demystification, accessibility of illustration, and empowerment in video games. I document this research, work-in-progress, and results on my blog on this website.
As an academic associate at the HfG Karlsruhe, I teach typography to first-year students, covering foundational skills in type design, history, vocabulary, and qualitative evaluation, as well as macro- and microtypography, information hierarchies, layout, and composition. The school's interdisciplinary environment has allowed me to lead seminars and workshops on AI demystification, Mediterranean Ocean media representation, video game platforms, and even a ping-pong tournament.
