Kipp Madison - Landesberg Design

Kipp’s work for clients such as The Heinz Endowments and Green Building Alliance has earned national attention in Graphis, Communication Arts, and Print magazines (his exhibit panels in Pittsburgh’s new convention center were featured in Communication Arts’ “Green Design” issue). Kipp joined Landesberg in 2001. He has a flair for playful and inventive design solutions involving image, language, and typographic interplay.

Education

The York Academy of the Arts: Like any school, the YA was sort of what you made of it. It was small–only 30 of us in the graphic design program, so there was a an excellent rapport with the instructors. They knew our skill sets and personalities quite well.

Country of origin and what drew me to Pittsburgh:

Carlisle, PA. While in college, I took an internship in Pittsburgh (my Aunt Lois and Uncle Henry lived there and I could stay with them for free.) Upon graduation that firm offered me a job, and I’ve been here since. I have loved this city from my very first view of the skyline.
