hello, my name is
stepan lipatov
graphic designer
I mainly design visual identities, exhibitions and books. I fuse images and typography into systems. Sometimes I use my drawings, color pencils are my favorites. Making a weird typeface is a good option. Always looking for interesting projects. Had projects in Netherlands, France and Denmark
