SIRENE
is the answer to the year 2020. To being more seperate than together. To pregnancy and a new focus in life. To unpredictability
and (re)discovered resilience, the messy and structured narrative life brings along. To going back to university and new career
paths, to learning and listening, and to an urge of creating continuity and security – for our clients and ourselves.
SIRENE is a unique structure of four independent designers with varying fields of interests and
skillsets who join forces and work together. In an industry where competition and specialisation dominate, SIRENE responds
collectively, in solidarity and with a broad base, creating a working environment that allows them to explore all of our creative
potentials.
In their talk SIRENE wants to challenge the understanding of what success can mean,
including the joys and hardships, as well as its “work in progress” character.

exhibitions. Clara specialised on illustration, she has since found a second love in branding and book design. Ana is booked
for set styling and together with Clara, they both explore their interest for design around food & restaurants.
With a focus on identity design, Jana has been working at the interface of strategic communication, consulting and branding.
