Ruben Pater is a graphic designer at a moment in time when more design is the last thing the world needs. In search for ethical alternatives he designs, writes, and teaches. After working at graphic design studios he pursued a master degree at the Sandberg institute in Amsterdam. In his practice he combines journalism, activism, and graphic design under the name Untold Stories to create visual narratives that support equality, solidarity, and degrowth. He is the author of two books on graphic design; ‘The Politics of Design’ (2016) and ‘CAPS LOCK’ (2021).
