Available to hire
Hi, I’m Chaim Kwakman, a digital art-director with a passion for branding and campaigns. I enjoy turning ideas into compelling brand identities and campaigns that work across digital and physical spaces. Over the years I’ve led creative direction for diverse clients, from startups to large brands, always focusing on clear storytelling and strong visuals.\n\nWhen I’m not crafting brand identities, I co-founded ToiToiToi Coffee x Culture, where we blend coffee, culture and community. I also enjoy exploring new design challenges in Amsterdam and Antwerp and collaborating with teams to bring bold ideas to life.
