Jean-Benoit Levy | Studio AND

Jean-Benoit Levy is the founder of Studio A N D, a small visual design firm, for clients in the cultural, social, humanitarian, non-profits, and public services domains. Born near Lake Geneva in Switzerland, Jean-Benoit is a graduate of the Basel School of Design, and member of AGI, the Alliance Graphique Internationale, and the American Institute of Graphic Arts.

He is renowned for the many striking street posters he has designed to advertise various entrepreneurs and promote festivals throughout Switzerland. Other notable commissions include postage stamps for the Swiss and US Postal Services, and a coin for Swissmint. Published in design books and periodicals, and included in public and private collections around the globe, Jean-Benoit’s work has explored the expressive power of typographic and pictorial signs for over 25 years. For example, in Handbook, published in 2006, Levy investigates how depictions of hands are used across myriad cultures as a universal means of symbolic, instructional, or aesthetic communication.

Jean-Benoit has also regularly brought his expertise and enthusiasm to the classroom, teaching workshops and classes at educational institutions around the world. Levy lives with his family in San Francisco and currently teaches at San Jose State University’s Department of Design.
