About Vincent Venema

About

I'm Vincent Venema, an independent multidisciplinary creative director focused on building brands, spaces and digital experiences in fashion, technology and design.

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

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 AR/VR/MR, brand identity, brand strategy, creative direction, campaign development, digital design, film & photography art direction 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, Sid Lee), fashion (G-Star Raw), sports (adidas, Nike) and creative technology (AKQA), I started working independently with a focus on brand experiences which create a lasting impression across every brand facing point imaginable. I explore new territories inspired by art, music, gaming, architecture to initiate ideas.
