Bob Faust

Described as "part artist, part designer, and part mediator,” Bob Faust is the principal and creative director for Faust, a Chicago-based art and design studio focused on cultural articulation. With typography at its core and viscerality on its surface, Faust makes work to inform, empower and/or instigate in the service of the celebration of human difference. “NewCity” magazine honored Faust as Best Breakthrough Design Artist in 2017 and followed up in 2020 naming he and partner Nick Cave Designers of the Moment. Most recently, both were awarded the Mayor’s Medal of Honor for their community-based work in Chicago.

Together, Cave and Faust founded the dynamic, multi-use creative space called Facility. As an entity, “it believes that art and design can create peace, build power, and change the world ... that by fostering an environment and community built from your dreams, you will wake up daily within your destiny.”
