No sleep for Braulio Amado, perhaps the most prolific designer in Brooklyn

Date
23 February 2015

Braulio’s been a busy boy lately since he took up his full-time post art directing over at Bloomberg Businessweek. You’d think a job at one of the world’s most respected bi-weeklies would keep his time pretty well occupied, but the restless designer still finds plenty of spare hours to horse around with personal projects, sell weird ouija boards online and hand-letter for The New York Times Magazine. We wonder how he ever gets any rest? “I should indeed sleep more,” he says.

But if Braulio was kipping more often then who would conduct image-based interviews with graphic artists? Who would keep pumping fresh, energising images into Bloomberg’s spreads? And who would have come up with the ingenious satirical character Paula Cher? Sleep when you’re dead Braulio, we need you awake!
