Over Nikki
I help brands and organisations turn complex ideas into clear, engaging design. With nine years of experience across brand identity, campaigns and editorial, I create visual systems that connect strategy with creativity and make information easy to grasp.
I’m a Dutch-born, London-based multidisciplinary designer and former Head of Design at TrendWatching. I’ve led projects for clients including The Crown Estate, Royal Mail, Médecins Sans Frontières and isla, delivering brand identities, reports, infographics and digital content that engage diverse audiences.
My approach combines imaginative thinking with practical clarity, resulting in design that feels thoughtful, distinctive and human. I’m especially drawn to projects exploring culture, technology and the human experience in accessible, visually rich ways.
