bio

Stephen Kerr is a designer, musician, bread-baker and occasional tent-builder based in Rotterdam. He fidgets between making graphic design and performances, questioning and playing with methods and tools. Coming from a serious and realistic background in a big city on a big island (Dublin), he is interested in making people out of designers and a wizard out of himself. Currently he is very very busy making technologies sillier, inefficienter, questionabler, questioneder and collaborativer.
