Hi there!

We are Sarah & Mathieu, two graphic designers who live and work together in Antwerp, Belgium. We share an eye for detail, a passion for sustainability, a fondness for minimalism and a penchant for being organised.

We design in a sustainable and content-driven way, where text and image form a symbiosis in a clean and coherent layout. 

doublebill.design is specialised in book and print design. We approach projects holistically by providing overarching guidance from the conceptual and research phase, over content curation and editing, to design and production. We work mostly with (self-)publishers and also create our own work.

Interested in working together? Contact us!


‘The content makes the design – we don’t impose a design on the content, the content tells us what it wants to look like.’ – Astrid Stavro

Sarah Schrauwen studied Literature & Linguistics at the University of Antwerp before moving to London to study graphic design. She learned the ropes as editor and designer at the independent publisher Unit Editions. After 3.5 years in London she moved back to Antwerp to start her own studio specialising in book design and editing. Her hobbies include (vegetable) gardening, vegan cooking and running.

Mathieu Vancamp studied Journalism, but ended up in a logistics job after his studies. Five years later he decided to follow an extensive evening course in graphic design. Since April 2020 he has been self-employed and mainly focuses on designing publications, posters and personal work. His hobbies include going to the movies, biking and researching sustainability across various disciplines.

We met in 2017 (thanks Tinder ♡) and hit it off right away. Our design collaboration started about a year later in the form of our ongoing alternative film poster project Double Bill Posters. This slowly grew into Mathieu helping Sarah out during busy summers, into working on projects together, until we decided to take our relationship to the next level and form doublebill.design in 2021. And then we got married in 2022!

We are very mindful of sustainability. We live consciously by living small, consuming and wasting little, buying second hand, renovating in an environmentally-friendly way, eating vegan, growing our own vegetables, shopping local and seasonal, etc. The prints in our shop are designed and produced in Belgium with love for our environment. We renovated and founded the sustainable co-working space Howdy in 2023.
