Combining her background in graphic design and fine art, Laderer aims to create positive change. “I think a burning planet, plastic straws, and social injustices suck,” she notes. “That’s why I choose to work with people like you who believe in a more eco and socially conscious future.”

With almost 20k followers on Instagram alone, people (and brands) are clearly tuning in to her positive message. But it took Laderer some time and courage to take the leap of faith necessary when launching a creative career. “I spent years exploring art, learning from mentors and teachers,” she recalled in an interview with Ever Made. “But, I got a little off track and took the responsible route, e.g. going to college for graphic design.”

According to Laderer, after graduation and the impending reality that this was it, she decided to return to her original passion – making art. “So I did it; I learned from everything I could get my hands on, put myself out there, and shared my work,” she says.

“My experiences, and personal journey have been integral to what my art has currently transitioned into,” says Laderer. You’d want to join in on her creative journey:

Now a graphic designer, lettering artist, and typographer, Black is known for his bespoke and innovative typographic illustrations, visual identities, packaging, murals, installations, and everything in between. According to Black, his strengths lie in his ability to cross disciplines without the restriction of a fixed personal style. This versatility has offered him the opportunity to work on a varied mix of collaborations with local and international clients of all business backgrounds.

“My process for lettering begins with writing the ideas down and creating some rough thumbnail sketches,” he explains the creative process that goes on behind the scenes. “Once I find the best direction, I begin the lettering stage by drawing each letterform. This is an iterative process that includes several stages of refinement by illustrating, erasing, tracing, rinse and repeat. Once I’ve taken the concept as far as I can by hand, I scan the image and begin the digitization process.”

The result is work that is both engaging and precise. As such his work has been celebrated and published internationally, in addition to regular features by online media. His work has also been exhibited across the globe from London and Barcelona to Australia and Dubai. But you can also follow his creative endeavors online, via Instagram.
