FAB005: Vera van de Seyp

For the fifth round of Friends at Base, we hosted Vera van de Seyp – a designer who treats computation less as a toolset and more as a collaborator. At BaseNYC, she shared how she builds custom engines for her work: modular scripts, generative structures, evolving typographic systems.

The conversation moved from process to philosophy: what it means to design when outcomes aren’t fixed, how to edit live results, and why instability can be its own aesthetic. A compact deep dive into the mechanics behind generative form-making.

A recap is now live on our Instagram.
