DWARS ontwerp is the design studio founded by Miriam de Lange and Mark Schulte, with backgrounds in exhibition design and product design. From these different backgrounds we started our studio in 2001, driven by a shared passion for design & creation with a socially aware perspective. We are now known for our interdisciplinary and multimedial approach.

DWARS ontwerp adopts a cross-disciplinary approach to its projects. It starts by exploring the essence of each project as a guide for the development of content, form and technique. With expertise in concept development, graphic design, interaction design, 3D design, engineering and a hands-on approach, DWARS ontwerp brings projects to realization, from design to result.

Miriam de Lange

Miriam is driven by her desire to tell stories through image, text, form, and sensory experience in a compelling way. She has a talent for analysing and systematizing story lines and translating them into spatial, graphic, or interactive designs. Drawing, tinkering and experimenting with various media are important aspects of her creative process.

Miriam developed her skills as a broadly-oriented designer in the museum sector. At DWARS ontwerp, she focuses on developing concepts and designing and realizing exhibitions, educational, and communication projects, using her skills in storytelling, graphic design (among websites and animations) and her passion for the creative process to create impactful designs.
