Bryony Gomez-Palacio and Armin Vit founded UnderConsideration in 2002 and have tended to its growth since then. Eerily, they do many things together and have many things in common.

Born and raised in Mexico City, both are graphic designers, currently running the Department of Design as UnderConsideration’s creative services outlet. When not working, writing or obsessing about design Armin lectures on a range of topics in a range of cities — Bryony allows it, and even joins him on occasions, like their last joint talk in Venice, Italy. As if that wasn’t enough design activity, they also find time to be judgemental and participate on national design juries for organizations like the Type Directors Club, Art Directors Club, Society of Publication Designers and the occasional magazine.

Once a week they prepare, scare and foster fourth-year students at the School of Visual Arts through the portfolio class they teach together. They published their first book with F+W Publications’ HOW Books, The Word It Book, and are already under way with a second book with them, The Women of Design, as well as working with Rockport Publishers on a 400-page book that will serve as a guide to our profession, Graphic Design, Referenced.

They reside in Brooklyn, New York with their daughter Maya, two cats and a backyard that needs a lot of work.
