Info


Annik Troxler is a Swiss graphic designer.


She works in the cultural field and teaches at the Basel School of Design. She has won several prizes in Europe and abroad.


With a strong focus on content, narrative and visual quality, Annik Troxler creates posters and visual identities that use typography and images in unusual ways.

Her design methods combine a significant use of playful techniques and experimentation but a strong connection to the minimalistic functionalism is still apparent.


Annik Troxler lives with her husband and two children Irma (2007) and Anton (2009) in Riehen.
