I. de Jong

I’m an Art Director with a love for design, concepting, photography and building brands from the ground up. Currently at Leene, I’ve previously worked as an Art Director at Vuurrood and spent years freelancing for agencies and brands. My work spans graphic design, motion graphics, photography and communication concepts. Always with a focus on turning complex stories into clear, simple ideas.

Within a team, I’m a connector. I like questioning processes and helping others grow creatively. I’m drawn to work that has a positive social impact, and that mindset carries into my life outside work too. I care about sustainable living — we recently upgraded our home from an energy label G to A, and I’ve been vegetarian for more than twenty years. I love exploring the outdoors and shooting analogue photography, although it’s getting a bit too expensive.

In addition to client work, I enjoy developing my own projects. One of them is Mudshirt, a small project in which I silkscreen print T-shirts using local mud. Creating with my hands keeps me grounded, curious and inspired.
