Sebastian Jung
Designer, Artist & Speaker
Sebastian Jung lives and works in Düsseldorf. Deeply in love with ideas – with everything new, everything that challenges the ordinary. A producer of thoughts that surprise, irritate, and move. He works as a graphic designer with a focus on branding and advertising, as an artist who enjoys surprising people – preferably with humor, occasionally on purpose – and as a speaker who talks about his personal art delivery service and the process of finding new ideas.
Current
Alongside his personal art delivery service Museum Express and his illustration platform Studio Ayuhara, Sebastian is currently focusing on expanding his career as a keynote speaker. He appears at various events and festivals – most recently for the Historical Museum Frankfurt and the conference-festival for urban culture and the creative industries, blank spaces. The core of his talks revolves around the founding and the journey of Museum Express. He shares how the idea of creating an art delivery service emerged during the Covid pandemic and what the long‑term goals of the project are. In addition to this talk, he also gives a second presentation on his favorite topic: ideas. How ideas emerge, how to structure the creative process, and how to turn sparks into real projects – For keynote inquiries contact me.
