Associates, Partners et Sons

Associates, Partners et Sons is a specialist design studio in Latvia. We caught up with Founder Edgars Zvirgzdins. EM: Tell us about your background, and why you chose to set up your own studio in 2011? EZ: I grew up with lots of art & design around, my mom was an actress and dad a surgeon, my parents friends were creatives of all kinds. Somehow that rubbed off and although I was studying at a maths oriented high school, I made the last minute decision to not go into finance or architecture and do design. High school gave me ease with numbers and business side, which I am grateful for, I see how my friends struggle with those parts sometimes and that could be something which art schools could improve.
