About

I’m Esther Sijkerman, a Dutch graphic designer and photographer with a strong focus on packaging, brand development, and visual storytelling. Since 2018 I’ve worked at IBG (Innovation Beauty Group, formerly Fasten), where I designed packaging and supported new product and brand development in the cosmetics industry, while also creating photography for social media, presentations, and packaging.

Alongside my in-house experience, I’ve built my own studio project, Studio-e, as an owner handling graphic design and photography on a freelance and project basis (2026–present). Earlier roles included design, marketing materials, webhop maintenance, packaging design, and lifestyle/product photography plus graphic DTP and layout work for print and web at advertising agencies. I enjoy translating brand ideas into clear, attractive visuals—from layouts and print-ready artwork to image editing and social-ready content.
