Available to hire
Hi, I’m Linda Margaretha Buijs, a graphic designer based in Amsterdam with a love for storytelling through visuals. I studied Graphic Design at Media College Amsterdam (2014–2019) and at Willem de Kooning Academy (2019–2023), with an English-language focus and a minor in Data Design. I work both as a freelancer and with teams, creating brand identities, packaging concepts and campaigns, as well as photography and video content.
Beyond design, I enjoy sharing knowledge through courses and mentoring interns, and I explore how tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma and AI can enhance creative processes. In my spare time I love photography, illustration, hiking, reading and language learning.
