Stijn Elbersen – Marketing Director Swedish Match

I have been working with Jan for years. He is by far the most talented designer I have ever had the pleasure to work with. He is highly strategic in his approach and connects all design decisions to brand positioning. Balance, contrast, emphasis, proportion, hierarchy, repetition, rhythm, pattern, white space, movement, variety, unity.. Jan encapsulates all of these elements in his work. He has the utmost taste but can also deliver on a range of different look and feels, most designer are a bit of a one trick pony … but not Jan. He has a wide vision that he can execute on for any project. Renders, logos, typography, graphics, layouts, labels.. there’s nothing he can’t do.. and make it look top notch to boot. He is extremely fast and efficient, I’m consistently blown away by the sheer quality of his work and the speed. Truly truly impressive. Aside from all of this, he is an absolute pleasure to work with. Extremely understanding and a top communicator.
Brandon Schwartz – President of DRNXMYTH

I was familiar with Jan’s reputation as a designer for years, and I was fortunate to have been introduced to him in 2018 by a mutual friend. From the start, we clicked in many ways and began working together developing products for Bobino and another start up. Jan is a very good designer, particularly good at visualization of an idea or concept. But what makes him truly unique are is very broad skills and knowledge and his ability to work quickly to find solutions and keep trying until it works. Next to his skills and talents are his ability to research and learn; this is a huge advantage. And finally Jan doesn’t have a huge ego that gets in the way; instead he works with teammates or his client to make the best possible result. And one more important thing. Jan is commercially oriented. He understands business and everything that goes with it. This is very unique for a designer.
