Monica Murgu

As we demonstrated in our interview with Benjamin Vielhauer, we love it when we find out about members of our creative community’s other talents. So when we saw the photography of Monica Murgu, another winner from the event, we couldn’t resist the temptation to feature her as well.

Monica is an Industrial Design student from Bucharest, with a whole lot of design and creative talent. We spoke to her about the event, and her very personal style of photography.

Benjamin Vielhauer

During the Berlin Stencil Art event we discovered a few things about our winners. We discovered that beyond crafting the works of art that won them the challenge, they possess a wider array of creative skills.

One discovery we made was that Benjamin Vielhauer has used HUGO Create to inspire a whole lot more than just his original work of art. After entering the One Fragrance, One Tree challenge, Benjamin and some fellow students went on to develop a theoretical marketing project for the fragrance.
