Design is what Boris is all about.

It‘s his profession, and his passion. When we say design, we don‘t just mean graphics, typography and animation. Design isn‘t purely visual – Design is value. What we do is by design, by thinking, and on purpose. Boris has experienced the many aspects of design: as a layouter and typographer for Wieland Sternagel, as editorial staff at the daily newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, as typesetter for Lothar Wolf, and as lithographer at Jürgen Höflich‘s offset and screen printing company.

1981 Boris teamed up with friends and established a graphics and text agency. The agency kept growing to include type-setting and lithography, printing, and interactive design and became KOCHJAN & PARTNER, with more than sixty employees one of the ten largest owner-operated branding agencies in Germany.

And now Boris draws from all these segments. He is the head of his creative agency. He is a lecturer and runs seminars on communication, branding and social marketing. As Chairman of the non-Latin specialized typography project GRANSHAN, as president of Deutscher Designtag (DT), he brings together trends, directions and technology from various areas of design and business, channels them into this agency, and leads his team and his clients into the future.
