Christian Leban is an art director, illustrator and photographer. His work is mostly part of RAWTY. It takes cues from skateboarding, art, nature and movement as a whole. His work is not one idea or concept, it sits between his personality and the work of RAWTY – changing and evolving.
He strongly believes that design-areas are irrelevant, what matters are conceptual approach and mindset. This shows in his practice – having worked on posters, brand designs, apparell, mini-ramps, websites, shoes, flags and much more.
Christian believes in using his skills for good and enjoys working on projects for a social cause. That's exactly what he does at RAWTY. He is also part of the Climate Designers network and the Social Business Hub Styria.
