I am Vincent Venema, an independent multidisciplinary hands-on creative director focused on building brands, spaces and digital experiences in the realms of creative culture, lifestyle and ideas.

Collaborating with brands, studios and artists worldwide at any stage of their journey. I work globally and remotely from my base in Amsterdam and join teams on location around the world.

— ABOUT

I lead multidisciplinary teams as a hands-on creative director or design director, with the team composition carefully curated to fit the needs of the project.

The projects I work on vary from creative direction, brand identity, brand strategy, design systems, film & photography art direction, concept development and spatial. I love capturing people's imagination in new ways by exploring projects that are visually exciting and blend digital, physical & virtual worlds that consider all the sensorial elements.

After building solid experience in lifestyle (MTV, Nickelodeon), fashion (G-Star Raw), sports (adidas, Nike) and creative technology (AKQA, Sid Lee). I started working independently with a focus on brand experiences and creative craft.
Currently I explore new territories influenced by art, architecture and current culture to initiate ideas.
