About_makebardo.jpg

Bren Imboden, born Castelar, Argentina.
Creative & Design Director
bren@makebardo.com

Bren graduated in Graphic Design from the University of Buenos Aires, and she also studied Stage Design at the Colón Theatre in Argentina. Her love for illustration allowed her to collaborate with many publishers—primarily for children's books industry— and fashion labels from around the world. Her curious spirit led her to live in different countries and to use that multicultural background as an inspiration for her constant search for profound and meaningful design concepts.
