Leonie Kaltenegger is an independent designer and art director based in Vienna, Austria. She specializes in brand identities, editorial content and visual concepts with a more artistic or experimental approach.

To reveal the essential characteristics of a brand or project she is driven by a subtle, abstract visual language, often characterized by the use of extreme contrasts or bold typographic elements. Research and discourses within the field of creativity research play a crucial role in the process. She constantly draws inspiration from her environment, continuously questioning her work and pushing beyond her comfort zone. Aiming to shape and create, giving thoughts a figure.
