Let's Reinvent
your future.

I help brands & organisations to strengthen their story and better their communication. Whether it's creating a head-turning 360° campaign, (re)designing a brand's face, or developing 'something' innovative that becomes talk of the town. I'm here to open new doors, fresh thinking, and create work that adds value to a new, brighter future.

ABOUT ME

Hello from sunny Amsterdam! 🤙 I'm Rein van der Ven (1985), a multi-disciplinary Creative Director & Art Director with 15 years of experience developing creative concepts, campaigns, identities, films and digital experiences. By combining creativity, imagination, design, digital, and social responsibility I aim for communication that looks delicious, sparks new energy and builds a better future.

I feel fortunate to have worked at award-winning agencies for forward-thinking clients in many fields and sizes, like: IKEA, Fitbit, Polaroid, SIRE, Fatboy, Dopper and the Dutch government. I know what it takes to make an idea see the light of day and how to build a positive and adventurous creative culture. I love working with fresh talent, lead by example, stand for quality and have fun together along the way!
