The Monthly Interview: Liza Enebeis
The creative director of Studio Dumbar/Dept has been balancing client and public-facing projects for most of her career. Here, she talks candidly about the business of studio evolution and running a ‘collective’ where motion is now integral to its working method
“Hello I am Liza Enebeis and this is what I love to do.” This sentence is what greets visitors to loveliza.nl, the personal website of Studio Dumbar/Dept creative director, Liza Enebeis. The text that follows this statement is a list of four things: Studio Dumbar, Demo Design in Motion Festival, Typeradio and Books Loveliza.
Together, this group gives an idea of Enebeis’ professional and personal work, but also conveys something about her particular philosophy which has, over several years, given much back to the design industry.
While it’s through her work at the legendary Dutch studio that many will know her name, the fact that Enebeis can list a motion graphics festival, a radio show/podcast about typography, and a popular Instagram account on design books among her ‘love to dos’, says much about her commitment to design and her own role within it. She is naturally curious and likes to share things both new (Demo) and old (@booksloveliza) in a way that is generous and inclusive.
