Studio Matthias Ries has been established in 2006 and since then has worked in various design disciplines, has received multiple design awards and has been published in numerous magazines. A strong network of freelance partners enables Matthias to find the best fitting solution for the individual needs of his clients. In the past few years he has been concentrating a bit more towards the theoretical aspects of design and social sciences and has been working as a lecturer and visiting professor at different design schools. Due to this broad experience across disciplines Matthias also works as an external consultant or moderator of internal processes and strategies. Being a one-man-band is a huge advantage, as there are no strings attached and a flexible yet personal partnership can be achieved much easier. Adding research based work to the process strengthens his clients to be more sustainable, weather proof and lasting on the long run; Matthias is not looking for short term solutions and unsteady trends.
