Et Sons

I met Edgars through Ernest, and sure, it makes sense that he recommended I speak to Edgars since they work together on a project. Edgars represents yet another facet of an emerging scene in Riga, and he’s the first example I’ve met of someone learning their craft in an established environment (design in the UK) to take it back to their country of origin.

What is your job, exactly?

My main job is running design studio Associates, Partners et Sons I founded 4 years ago. I work alongside four creatives and a business developer. We work on projects for clients in finance, culture and architecture. Mostly identities, but we do websites, exhibitions, magazines and books as well.

Besides being a designer I have been championing creative and design industry in Latvia – together with couple designers & architects we founded FOLD, which is a digital creative industries platform. I represent FOLD in Design Council at Ministry of Culture of Latvia, occasionally do interviews with foreign creatives, once every two years I try to run Riga Type Week in collaboration with Latvian Art Directors Club.

I work with Ernest on his platform called Edurio. We’ve both worked with some product start-ups so it’s interesting to try our hand in field of technology & education.
