Eertmoed Studio is a design practice at the intersection of identity, environment, art, and technology—working with organizations to deliver projects that resonate and inspire.

In a world bursting with noise and fleeting trends, dare to embrace simplicity and authenticity. Beneath the surface lies more than just a brand—it’s the heart of your creative integrity. Reductivism is more than a design philosophy; it’s a journey of rediscovery. It’s the boldness to peel back the layers and reveal something raw, timeless, and deeply human.

This is where connection and unity begins—not shouting to be heard but with the quiet confidence of simply being who you are, boldly. Forget the race for attention. Create something so honest that it can't be ignored.

Studio

Eertmoed Studio is the design practice of Kyle Eertmoed, an independent design director with extensive experience in brand and digital design. I believe respect, integrity, and collaboration are the foundations for great work.

Prior to opening the studio, Kyle co-founded Knoed, a creative brand design agency in Chicago helping small businesses invent or reinvent themselves. After that, he served as the Director of Brand Design for a biotech company, leading to a successful global acquisition in 2024. Now, he's helping organizations deliver projects that resonate and inspire.
