# Matěj Moravec

> Art director and visual designer, born in Prague, based in Lausanne. Matěj Moravec works across brand identity, typography, type design, posters, motion design and audio-reactive visuals for commercial, cultural and independent clients.

I work across typography, motion and audiovisual media. I first earned an associate degree in graphic design and printed media at the Graphic School in Prague. I then studied type design, typography and visual communication at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague (UMPRUM), including a year at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. I've worked on commercial, cultural and independent projects, from global brand work for Chiquita to collaborations with Balmer Hählen in Lausanne and Marvil in Prague. I co-founded the label Pulse Records and make music as Nathan Solo (not Han Solo), a name that came from asking a friend what to call my solo project.
