A Rotterdam based Dutch-American graphic designer specialised in brand identities and packaging.
At a young age I was influenced by the world of sports through playing the great game of basketball. Growing up learning the importance of communities and communication. This has influenced my values as a creative.
As a graphic designer in our current environment I realize we can do more than ‘make it look good’. By working within the values of beyond profit I work to disrupt the norm. Challenge convention together with brave organisations, ambitious startups and inspired individuals to tell their story; increasing attention, awareness, and action. Injecting a sense of pride that is deserved.
What goes beyond profit?
- Local and/or social
- Community
- Arts and Education
- Sustainability
- EnvironmentalI
- Inclusivity
- Anti-racism
- Non-profit
- Vegetarianism/veganism
With this in mind I co-founded Common Collective, an impact focused design collective, made up out of a set of complementary individuals, each with their own speciality, working together towards a common goal.
