Hi, I’m Jelle — a designer, art director, and poster artist.
With over a decade of experience, I’ve worked on a wide range of projects: from crafting complex brand identities and designing magazines to giving guest lectures and taking part in international artist residencies.
I’ve made hundreds of screen-printed gig posters, record artworks, and merchandise for bands like Altin Gün, The Hives, and Idles.
I’ve also developed successful visual identities for music venues, festivals, and food brands, while diving into editorial design, print layouts, packaging, and everything in between.
Most of my clients come from the music, creative, and cultural industries, but I’ve also worked on multilingual educational projects.
I’m currently based in Hamburg, Germany, and working part-time as a Senior Designer for a record label.
I also run my own webshop, called Black Hole Heart Club
