Clever°Franke

CLEVER°FRANKE is a Dutch data design and technology studio founded in 2008 in Utrecht by designers Thomas Clever and Gert Franke. Working between strategy, design and engineering, it helps organisations make sense of complex information by turning datasets into interfaces, visualisations and interactive installations; since 2023 it has been part of ADC Consulting, with a second office in Chicago.

The studio’s portfolio spans digital products, data-driven brand experiences and public installations, and in 2023 it was named Red Dot: Agency of the Year. The same year its MB > CO2 project with artist Thijs Biersteker was nominated at the Dutch Design Awards in the Design Research category, recognition of a practice that treats data as a design material rather than a reporting tool.
