MongrelNation is a Berlin based practice for imagery and
art direction run by Swiss-Japanese Maiko Gubler.
The synthesis of diverse backgrounds is reflected in her
expertise: she manufactures contemporary media
beyond rigid disciplines, combining sculpting, 3D modeling,
illustration and ideation for editorials, animations,
spatial media and interactive environments.
After graduating from the University of the Arts Berlin in
Visual Communication/Digital Media, Maiko has been working as
an independent art director and image-maker since 2003.
