Annelies Vaneycken leads her own graphic design studio Trans-ID since 2001 in Brussels, Belgium. Besides client-related work, she is interested in the ‘authorship’ of her profession, where graphic design meets other disciplines. She enjoys exploring social issues arising from cultural identity, in projects like Expedition Francka (2007), Beautiful Dirt (2008) and Erasing Intimacy (2010). Annelies is currently working on a new project Réporter sem beiras in which she is attempting to bring a more open-minded interpretation to the prevalent negative image of Brazilian slums. She publishes the photozine Météorite Douce. As ‘a little refugee’, she regularly escapes to new destinations. Her recent travels include Albania (2007), Brazil (2008), Georgia (2009) and India (2010).
