3rd Floor | Freelance graphic design & illustration
Smart and scalable design for brands that want to stand out
At 3rd Floor, I've been helping businesses, agencies, and creative teams stay ahead in a competitive market for over 10 years. With high-impact design, bold illustration and strategic visual storytelling. I work across brand identities, campaigns, packaging and basic animation to bring ideas to life, both online and offline.
Operating from my studio in Breda, the Netherlands, I work solo or scale up with a trusted network of freelance specialists, depending on what your project needs. That means: the right expertise, without the overhead. Fast turnaround, flexible collaboration, and results that speak for themselves.
Here’s how I can help you
From concept to execution, I offer creative services that help brands communicate clearly and stand out visually, whether you need a one-off design or a full brand rollout.
Graphic Design
Your brand identity is more than just a logo, it's every visual detail that shapes perception. I design cohesive brand systems that work across print and digital: from logos, brochures, and websites to packaging and large-scale campaigns. Whether you’re starting from scratch or evolving an existing brand, I help you communicate clearly and consistently.
Animation
Animation is a powerful tool for storytelling. I create animated content that supports your brand, from explainer videos and motion graphics to animated social content. Using both 2D and 3D techniques, I bring energy and clarity to your message.
Illustration
From conceptual visuals to detailed editorial work, illustration adds emotion and personality to any brand. I combine traditional and digital techniques, in both 2D and 3D, to craft custom illustrations that elevate your message and connect with your audience.
Pre‑production
Precision matters. Every visual asset needs to be production-ready to deliver results. I prepare files with care for print, web, and video, making sure your brand looks sharp across every channel, whether it’s a billboard, a website or a motion piece.
