My name is Robin Ansems, a 25-year-old designer based in Hilversum, the Netherlands. With a strong foundation in communication, multimedia design, and digital innovation, I specialize in creating thoughtful, user-centered visual experiences. Outside of work, I enjoy soccer, gaming, and exploring creative outlets through design. Some of my personal favorites include a good hamburger with fries, the Côte d'Azur in France, and music by Drake and Stromae.
In 2021, I earned a Bachelor's degree in Communication and Multimedia Design from the Hogeschool van Amsterdam. This program trained me in digital design principles with a strong focus on user-centric methodologies and design processes. It laid the groundwork for my development as a graphic and UX/UI designer.
Building on that, I completed a Master’s degree in Digital Design at the same institution in 2023. The Master’s program emphasized ethical design and sustainable solutions, preparing me for leadership roles in the design field. During this time, I worked on real-world projects for organizations such as ING and the Municipality of Amsterdam, deepening my ability to design with impact.
My professional journey began alongside my studies, working from 2014 to 2022 at Vers Saladebar Hilversum. Initially a delivery role, this position grew to include responsibilities in time registration and social media design.
Following my graduation, I held several creative roles:
NOS (DocuMedia Department) – Worked as an archivist and video editor, updating sports video archives and producing descriptive content for Paralympic Games coverage.
Significant (Sign Company) – Designed a range of offline promotional materials, including car wraps, flyers, window stickers, and branding assets.
NOS (Podcast Department) – Served as a podcast editor during the World Cup in Qatar.
De Toekomst (Printing Company) – From 2023 to 2025, worked as a junior graphic designer, producing both print and digital materials. Projects ranged from flyers, posters, brochures, and magazines to websites, animations, and car lettering.
