Available to hire
Hi, I’m Josse Hermsen, a senior freelance graphic designer, art director, and visual artist based in Amsterdam. I specialize in creating visual identities, editorial design, websites, posters, books, illustrations, and digital content, mainly bridging the worlds of art, culture, and commerce. I enjoy working both independently and collaboratively with creative teams to provide clear visual direction and thoughtful execution for various projects.
With years of experience, I have developed a versatile skill set that allows me to tackle a broad range of design challenges, from identity systems and brand storytelling to campaign and editorial design. I’m passionate about producing work that resonates visually and conceptually across mediums and sectors such as art, education, fashion retail, and more.
