Daniel Rehn
Designer, Filmmaker and Hybrid Arts Researcher
Hello there. I live at the intersection of art and science. I produce graphic design, film and sound while integrating the traditional media of illustration, collage and photography.
In addition, I am a strong advocate of design process and user-centered design (information architecture, interfaces, usability, information design).
I explore these pursuits at Hello Friend, a design studio which I founded in Southern California.
I thoroughly enjoy:
- examining and devouring the world, imaginary and real, one scrap at a time
- living for the moment where two or more concepts collide and form a new idea
- exhibiting art to secretly observe the patrons’ reactions
- musicology—its stories, connections and infinite sounds constantly consume me
- also: juxtaposition, projection, ephemera, absurdism, collaboration, dinosaurs, puppetry, typography, etymology, history, sociology, archaelology, cog-sci, culture, sound, film, the 20th century, obsolete electronics, sculpture, time travel, cooking, instruction manuals, theatre, foreign toys, rabbits, window-display, avoiding sleep, stop-action, postcards, the equator, california, australia, costa rica, polynesia, et al.
