Responsible for account handling and project management, Alex makes sure that we deliver each of our award-winning creative solutions on budget and on time.

Back in 2003, she joined the Vault49 fray as a client, and over the course of several years of friendship and mutual admiration was lured into our ranks as a senior producer. With a varied background in theater, marketing and communications, a degree in philosophy and a passion for design, Alex facilitates the creative process and keeps everyone (including clients) focused on meeting strategic and creative goals.

Raised tri-lingual, speaking German and French along with English, it’s not surprising that she insists on order, but delivers it with panache.

While Duncan’s official title is senior designer, he’s really more like a design super hero. Having grown with the Vault49 studio from his early days as a junior designer to the all-round creative powerhouse he is now, Duncan is equally comfortable working digitally or by hand, and his wide range of skills allow him to imagine and create designs that bring our clients’ brands to life in unexpected and beautiful ways.

Whether he’s doing backflips off the office wall or creating jaw-dropping executions that make their way onto Times Square billboards, magazine covers, and broadcast TV, Duncan delivers the highest calibre work at every turn. When added to the fact he's designed apparel for the likes of Jay-Z, Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Samuel L. Jackson, Duncan is simply unstoppable.

Elliott brings simplicity to the complex, and order to the ornate with a strong focus on apparel, typography and bold graphics.

As a senior designer, he offers a wealth of branding and fashion experience, but that’s not all. Never one to be underestimated, while he looks like Brains from Thunderbirds, he is actually a digital design and screen printing double-threat, previously working for companies like McFaul Studio, freelancing for some of the biggest names in denim and illustrating the cover of Computer Arts Projects.

A multi-talented designer, Luke is just as comfortable with CGI as with pen and paper. An autodidact of epic proportions, Luke is a self-taught designer whose work has graced numerous album covers, been featured in Advanced Photoshop magazine and been a part of Playstation’s prestigious The Studio.

Whatever his medium, his love of music, comics, and learning something new, lead him to break the creative mold on a regular basis. How many other designers do you know who used to work demolition or spent a year in Cambodia to further develop their 3D skills? Expect the unexpected.

Animator, editor, designer, director… these are only some of the titles Russ puts under his name. A motion graphics veteran who has managed to ply his craft on four continents, collecting recognition and awards by the handful along the way, his passion for the moving image competes only with his addiction to music, his love of the outdoors and his devotion to hats.

If you weren’t lucky enough to see his visuals at the Aston Shuffle’s 2010 New Year’s Eve concert at Bondi Beach, then you’ve probably seen his graphics in promotions for MTV, VHI, Nickelodeon and Ministry of Sound in just about every country. Whether it’s music videos, advertising, or children’s television, Russ’ elegant style and sly sense of humor hit the perfect note.

Karan’s talented eye informs his intellectual curiosity and vice versa. A versatile designer who’s worked for brands and agencies around the globe, he’s always eager to push the envelope, both visually and mentally.

Though he has a degree in interactive design and can map data with the best of ‘em, illustration is what makes Karan’s heart sing. He recently finished a year of daily drawings, which he managed to continue while traveling regularly, including moving from Melbourne to New York to start his new job here. The challenge produced a wide range of clever images, as well as a sold-out spin-off series of 12 drawings for Australia’s Cancer Council. In his few spare moments, Karan also maintains Pig Bimpin’, a blog about art, design and designers.

Karan is the king of sharp ideas quickly executed. Not surprisingly, he loves coffee.

Constantly exploring and eager to push himself, Rutger is a supreme creative all-rounder. To balance his long hours developing beautiful digital illustrations and 3D renderings in a wide range of styles, his weekends are filled with graffiti exploits and other analog adventures. Wildly passionate about typography, he creates everything from elaborate, hand-drawn lettering to clean, tech-informed fonts.

Rutger got his start at Vault49 as a summer intern shortly after he finished his degree in graphic design in the Netherlands, but between his unwavering commitment to getting a design right and his off-the-wall humor, we couldn’t let him go. Although we often need to stop Rutger from covering every surface he encounters with his latest graphic experiment, it’s a problem worth having.

Having worked in advertising earlier in his career, Nick took a break from the industry to nurture a passion for media and the arts and write for a number of national newspaper and magazine titles, all while clawing his way through a PhD in film.

He returned to advertising in 2008, with a focus on digital strategy and communications, but still writes for a number of on- and off-line publications, none of which have anything to do with marketing, communications or selling things.

Nick still harbors the faintly ridiculous belief that one day he will write a definitive, universally lauded book on a subject that he thinks he knows something about. Given that he is fanatical about Soul music, 1970s cinema and boxing, it might be one of those…

When it comes to generative design, Cedric & Julia are unparalleled. Experimental design brought them together and after Julia co-authored “Generative Gestaltung” a multi-award-winning book on the discipline they are both so passionate about, they founded Onformative to experiment and create together.

Combining artistry and analytics to create everything from awe-inspiring projection mapping programs to beautiful data visualizations, and quite a few things in between, they bring simple surfaces to life and make facts and figures dance.
