DESIGN RAW ANGEL MODELING

HELLO, I’M
VADA SCHLÄPFER.
I MAKE IDEAS HAPPEN.

I’m a 20-year-old qualified graphic designer (EFZ) based between Lucerne, Basel and Baden-Württemberg. I’m passionate about exploring different creative disciplines, connecting ideas and bringing them to life. My work spans visual communication, fashion, photography and self-initiated projects, driven by curiosity and a willingness to experiment with new approaches.

EDUCATION

I completed my vocational training in graphic design and my vocational baccalaureate at Fachklasse Grafik Luzern in summer 2026. In September 2026, I began my Bachelor’s degree in Visual Communication and Digital Spaces at HGK Basel FHNW.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

From 2023 to 2025, I worked as a freelance designer for the theatre association Luzerner Spielleute. I created a range of communication materials for the association and its subgroup Stachelbeere. For the theatre productions ‘Tumult auf der Stadt Luzern’ and ‘Symphonie der Ungeduldigen’, I was responsible for the art direction and developed a distinct visual identity for each production. My work included posters, flyers, sponsorship brochures, animations and social media content. I also designed a large-format poster to mark the association’s 90th anniversary.

In 2025, I completed a six-month internship at the design agency Tabula Rasa in Hamburg. I contributed to projects for a range of brands, including Eat Happy, zeroLabs, BonBon, NAIS, HPA, the FOND OF Group and Krüger & Salecker.

EXPLORE ZEROLABS



In summer 2026, I worked as a graphic designer at Qualipet AG, as part of the product design team for the company’s own brands. I worked on various product lines, including several Harmony ranges, as well as Freezack and BePure.

Graphic design is where ideas take visual form. My practice spans a wide range of disciplines, from visual identities and editorial design to animation, illustration and image-making. I enjoy exploring different approaches, combining techniques and finding the right visual language for each project. Whether working digitally or experimenting with print, I’m interested in creating work that communicates a clear idea while leaving room for unexpected outcomes.

VIEW DESIGN PORTFOLIO
In 2026, I developed the first prototype of Raw Angel, a fashion brand created as part of a nine-week project at Fachklasse Grafik Luzern. From brand strategy and visual identity to collection design, garment production and website development, I brought the concept to life from the ground up. The brand explores the duality of self — the balance between strength and vulnerability, rawness and softness. My brother, Lino Schläpfer, contributed to the strategic development, as the idea originated with both of us. The documentary film offers a look into the process, from the initial idea to the finished prototype.

CHECK OUT RAW ANGEL
Weekly is my space to experiment, explore new ideas and create beyond the boundaries of a single discipline. Each week, I take on a new creative project, often collaborating with another creative to exchange perspectives, learn from one another and see where an idea can lead. From photography and graphic design to drawing, painting, sewing or anything in between, the format stays open to whatever sparks my curiosity.

Have an idea to explore together? I’m always open to new collaborations.

LET’S CREATE TOGETHER
Modeling started through collaborations with friends and grew into a way for me to explore another side of creative work. I’ve been involved in projects across fashion, photography and short film, including TIED by Jewel Ulrich, the short film FOR THE EXPERIENCE by Sarine Arnold, and work for DIRNDL-VERLEIH . I enjoy stepping into different concepts, bringing a presence to the camera and contributing to the visual story behind each project.
