AB UT
My name is Marije, I’m a dutch designer / art director working for global brands and living in Berlin. I’m half Dutch, half German, also Deutsch geht auch, inklusive holländischem Akzent. Sometimes I like to pretend I’m a copywriter on-top but that mostly gives my colleagues a good laugh. I like to do things with a twist, go the extra mile, look at things that others overlook. Management says I help create an office culture, I call it enjoying my time at work! My hobbies are wild camping, cycling, reading random Wikipedia pages and dancing to any type of music genre.
Let’s meet up!
