Today we meet Simone Koller, a Graphic Designer from Zurich.  After working at Elektrosmog, she decided to work as an independent designer in 2010. Simone studied at Werkplaats in Arnhem, the Netherlands and ZhdK in Zurich. Her work has been featured in various exhibitions, and she managed the workshop series ‘Ein Buch lesen ist nur eine Abart des ‹Lesens› im eigentlichen Sinne’ (To read a book, is just a variation of ‹reading› in the classic sense). Simone received the Award ‘Schönste Schweizer Bücher’ in 2007, 2008, 2012 and 2013 and the gold medal in ‘Schönste Bücher der Welt’ in 2007.
