Anne & Eugene Timerman

Anne Timerman and Eugene Timerman are co-founders of TM/R Design, a New York-based creative studio specializing in branding and communications, often extended to include architectural environments and design objects. Established in 2007, TM/R has since developed a unique methodology based on systematic form exploration. Custom algorithmic script, dubbed the Universal Compositional Machine, is used to generate a variety of new forms out of sets of prepared graphic elements and outline new territories of design solutions. TM/R also developed Brand Geometry — a design tool to extend brand identity from essential brand elements into a visual language — now the studio’s key approach to multiple projects for fashion brands and high-tech companies, including new store concept and design for the Issey Miyake store at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York, and creative lab graphics and typeface for NVIDIA, the leader in visual computing technology.
Anne Timerman studied architecture at McGill University and UC Berkeley, training in the office of California architect Joseph Esherick before occupying a key design role at Peter Marino Architect in New York City. Anne worked ​with Peter Marino creating architectural concepts for Dior, Louis Vuitton, Loewe, Zegna, Hublot and Chanel during her ten years with the practice. She developed façades for Vuitton stores in London and Munich, and the infinity staircase at the brand’s Tokyo Ginza Matsuya store; the façade of Hublot’s 5th Avenue store in New York; as well as interiors and furniture prototypes that were successfully rolled out at numerous locations.
Eugene Timerman studied graphic design at the San Francisco Academy of Art, and prior to founding TMR design consulted for leading branding agencies such as Landor, Interbrand, Wolff Olins, and Grey Advertising. He has designed books for Phaidon Press, created posters for the American Institute of Graphic Artists (AIGA), SFMOMA, the American Folk Art Museum, and the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum. Eugene created the new visual system for Virgin America, and, working with Wolff Olins the graphic identity project for New York City.
