From The
Bay Area to
Berlin

As innate artists we are in constant pursuit of creating our own path and leaving meaningful impressions on our world. It was in this pursuit that Vagabond was born in the summer of 2015. 

Coming from the busy agency life of the San Francisco Bay Area we found ourselves needing a change of perspective. We spent a summer abroad and discovered unexpected inspiration in the city of Berlin. We found a refreshing creativity and ingenuity in everything from Berlin’s alternative art and music scenes to the emerging start-up communities. It was in these unfamiliar surroundings, thousands of miles from home, that we gained clarity. We found Berlin to be the perfect environment to build something independently, where we can explore the creative ambitions we’ve been holding back on. Within 6 months of returning home we packed up our lives, got back on a plane and made Berlin the home of a new beginning and our creative studio, Vagabond.
