weissbunt – Design und Kontext is a design agency based in Berlin Schöneberg. As experts specializing in corporate design, weissbunt has been working for associations, companies, and institutions in a national and international environment for over 20 years. For weissbunt, developing design means first laying the groundwork and considering the environment and context. Visual and verbal communication is then built on this foundation. Instead of short-lived campaigns, the goal is to create solutions that will stand the test of time.

Pieter Dompeling studied visual communication at Hanze Hogeschool in Groningen and joined the Bauhaus University Weimar as an artistic assistant in 1995. There, he headed the university's internal design agency for five years – a formative period for his career as a designer. He met Martin Jagodzinski at the Berlin brand agency Damm und Lindlar. Together they founded weissbunt in 2003. In addition, he is committed to improving bicycle mobility, focuses his camera on the changing nature, and tries to combine landscape conservation with design.

Martin Jagodzinski studied communication design at the Berlin-Weißensee Academy of Art and began working for MetaDesign in 1999. From there, he and others moved to the Damm und Lindlar agency to work on a project
for the London-based branding agency Wolff Olins, developing the corporate design for the E.ON Group in Germany. When Wolff Olins Berlin was not established, he decided to join forces with Pieter Dompeling to found their own design agency, which still exists today.
