Graphic Designer & Art Director focused on branding & packaging with a respect for strategy. Available for hire: Freelance and Fulltime. Currently working in both London and Amsterdam.

I’m a midlevel graphic designer with 6+ years of experience both on the agency side and working directly for clients. My projects range from companies with new products to major clients such as Nike, Orville Redenbacher, and Bud Light. I’ve worked for both large and small agencies, including places like IDEO, Landor and Edenspiekermann.

I’m passionate about graphic design, typography, branding, packaging and experimenting with color when it fits with strategy. I’m dedicated to the right brand attitude, the right strategy, and the right moment for design to make the most impact. Clients in food, spirits, and the arts all benefit greatly from my broad and thoughtful approach.

Artem Packaging by Joel Derksen Artem Luxury Watch Straps is a packaging design created for watch straps made for collectors. The outer cover slides off to reveal a frosted vellum inner box that opens at the side with a flap seal. A foam insert holds the strap in place. The blocky and sculptural form highlights sharp edges and technical precision. Foil stamping and papers in grey and royal blue give a refined and technical appearance. The structure was shaped to present the product clearly during unboxing.
