konter is a communication design studio based in Dortmund, Germany run by us, the two graphic designers Michelle Flunger and Sascha Schilling.

We work in different fields of design, such as: editorial-, corporate-, exhibition-, book-, webdesign. copy writing, concepts, art direction and different kinds of workshops.

Just name it. We have a great team around which will give everything to fulfill your requirements. 

We create visual tensions and relax those, if necessary.

Additional to our executive work in our studio, we teach graphic design at the University of Sciences and Arts in Dortmund.
