Essen is Simone Rubi and Nat Russell. Simone Rubi handles a lot of the graphic and web design needs while Nat Russell is a master of le

tterpress, woodcut, illustration, poster design, drawing and screenprinting. Nat Russell is a mad artist. Simone Rubi is a computer and technical magical fairy. Essen can do anything from designing posters and album art for your band and printing them on the letterpress, to wedding invitations, brochures, announcements, or combining fine art with letterpress. We are a company in based in Berkeley, California, that makes, does, eats, cooks, sings, and sleeps. Our work is conceptual craft and ranges from graphic design and letter press to multi media installations and performance.We can help market your ideas and set up websites for you as well as cook you the best meal of your life. Mainly we are set out to change things in the world of design. We have both worked many jobs - some corporate- some down home. We have learned that no matter what, to save art and the future of design, we need to lend the human touch to things again. The beautiful mistakes, the mixing of inks, the unknown colors. No more pantone chips! We are honest folk and passionate about what we do. Hooray!
