Hi Julia! Still as amazing as ever? Our paths have crossed many times since our days at AKQA Amsterdam, and I wanted to reach out and share a quick snapshot of what I’ve been up to. I’ve put together some samples of various projects I’ve led and collaborated on—ranging from commercial to experiential.

Would love to hear your thoughts, Vinnie

— ABOUT VINCENT VENEMA

I am Vinnie, a freelance creative director with a multidisciplinary approach. I craft brands, develop visual languages, and design experiences that resonate with today's culture. My work blends a deep understanding of visual aesthetics, modern technology, and intentional design. 

Music videos was what pulled me into the scene, the language of everything visual and music amplified. Eversince working at MTV, I have worked at several global agencies (AKQA, Sid Lee) and brands (adidas, G-Star Raw).

The projects I work on vary from creative direction, brand identity, creative strategy, concept development, digital products, motion design, 3D, art direction for film and photography, and spatial design. I realize ideas across diverse fields, including marketing, design, fashion, music, and architecture.

I lead multidisciplinary teams as a creative director or hands-on design director, with the team composition carefully curated to fit the needs of the project. My passion is capturing people's imagination in new ways by exploring projects that are visually exciting and I also enjoy blending digital, physical & virtual worlds that consider all the sensorial elements. 

I've had the privilege of building brands from the ground up, crafting bold creative concepts, designing digital experiences, and shaping brand systems that stand the test of time. Along the way, I've launched global campaigns, delved into motion design, explored the world of audio branding, and brought event experiences to life.

From established names to startups, I work alongside brands, studios, and individuals no matter where they are in their journey. From my base in Amsterdam, I collaborate globally, working both remotely, and frequently joining teams on location around the world.
