SYD FRANZ

graphic designer / dancer / drag king (Les B. Frank)

Brooklyn, NY (Lenapehoking)

As a designer, I’ve worked with a variety of performers, creators, drag artists, nonprofits, and dance organizations to support their creative and business goals through event flyers, merchandise, website designs, and custom logos/brand direction.

As a dance and performing artist, my work emphasizes improvisation, creative play, collaboration, and rigorous research to continuously explore identity, community, and queer joy. I am a collaborator with Detour Productions, a devised theater company creating immersive drag/dance/theater performances in San Francisco.

Lately, I’ve been diving deeper into the worlds of illustration, lettering, devised theater, and drag. I’ve also been learning to tattoo and working as an interior limewash painter. Outside of the studio, you will likely see me at a show, crafting, or wandering a local junk shop.
