Marian Bantjes / Vancouver, BC
CONTRIBUTES TO SPEAK UP

Marian Bantjes has been writing quirky, sometimes feisty articles for Speak Up since 2004. She likes to look at things from different perspectives — not always popular, not always right, and not even always smart, but sometimes all of the above. While her articles — which are often lengthy — appear sporadically, she is a frequent participant in Speak Up’s online discussions.

As for her work, she describes herself as a lapsed Graphic Designer and current Graphic Artist, although design is still a daily part of her life and some of her best work certainly falls under that category. Marian’s trusting clients include Stefan Sagmeister, Michael Bierut (Pentagram), Bruce Mau Design, Saks Fifth Avenue, AIGA, Print Magazine, WIRED, Wallpaper, The Guardian (UK), The New York Times among others.

Almost everything you could ever possibly want to know about her, except her dress size (8) can be found at bantjes.com.
