Nina de Willebois
Graphic Designer & Illustrator

“I seek to work with skilled designers, sharing knowledge and learning. Above all, I will continue to be a craftsman.”

Hi I am Nina a Dutch international graphic designer, ready to take on the world. I provide original, creative and functional design. During my travels across the globe I have been influenced by many cultures, which have enriched and coloured my designs in many ways. I don’t approach graphic design as part art, part communication, but rather as communication through art. Design, for me, carries a deeper meaning than just text and images. It has the capability to persuade, unite and stimulate all those around it.

Philosophy

“Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works.“-Steve Jobs

I don’t approach graphic design as part art, part communication, but rather as communication through art. Design, for me, carries a deeper meaning than just text and images. It has the capability to persuade, connect and stimulate all those around it.

A graphic designer is the link between clients and their audience. Therefore I always start my design process with curiosity. Who is the client and who is their audience? How can I seamlessly connect these two together? These are the first questions which lead to a rainbow of possibilities and answers.

Mission

I am always looking for new challenges and creative ways of meeting every clients needs.

I believe that quality and uniqueness is valued most within design, and that being; memorable, looking sharp, stylish, and professional is more affordable than a shallow short-term solution.

Hours of research goes into the learning of new techniques for each project according to the specific requirements of the task. Every project is treated individually, dedicating countless hours into polishing every little detail, and infusing it with the care and passion that fuels our every day lives.
