My name is Willem and I'm a 22 year old graphic designer & multi-disciplined creative based in Bristol.
I recently graduated from the Fashion Communications degree at UWE, and am confident in graphic design, styling, production, editing & photography roles, through prior experience working as a freelance designer, creating personal projects & completing university modules.
My practice is focused being vibrant & bold, while injecting a sense of humour, surrealism & queerness into every project I create, both personal & professional.
I am looking for freelance work & other opportunities primarily in graphic design, as well as roles that could support pathways to a portfolio career in art direction, social media marketing, creative direction & casting.
I'm very open to commissions and creative collaborations of any kind, so hit me up and lets make something weird!
