Authera is a creative agency that creates exhibitions, brands, and the creative strategies behind them.

Authera was founded by Tim Michielsen and Ornella Ostapenko.

Tim is a philosopher specialised in identity. He is responsible for developing personal myths, brand narratives, and cultural projects. He gives them personality and voice, basing his work on deep cultural research. 

Ornella is an art director, curator, artist, and designer with more than decade of experience. Her main role is to embody the myth in material form — whether as an exhibition stand, a spatial solution, a visual identity, book or even a work of art.

Together, Tim and Ornella collaborate with a network of designers, copywriters, artists, engineers, and other creatives from around the world to transform your vision into a project that leaves a mark.
