Kern02 is a design studio by Christophe Heylen + Els Bauwelinck. We transform complex ideas into clean, powerful visuals that communicate with purpose. With a multidisciplinary approach, our work ranges from the concept, the design and the production of visual brand identities, icon design and illustrations, type design, editorial design and digital experiences. From branding for cultural institutions to icon systems for global tech companies like Cisco, our work is grounded in clarity, precision and thoughtful simplicity. We are based near Antwerp, Belgium.
