About
Studio Bearing was founded by Erik Lieshout, a designer and storyteller with a lifelong love for maps and a deep fascination with how people form connections to place.
Bringing together aesthetic clarity, spatial awareness, and data, we craft visual narratives that resonate. Collaboration with clients is central to our process, allowing us to thoughtfully explore the profound relationships that shape how people experience and connect with place through design and storytelling.
