VML strengthens its creative ranks

Armed with a Master's in Visual Arts, Jasper Macken traded the school benches of Sint Lucas Antwerp for a spot at VML Belgium since December. As Creative/Art Director, he forms a creative team with Noa Luiten. His passion for digital and exceptional design skills are undoubtedly an asset to the team.

On that note, he can already bounce ideas off newly appointed Senior Design Lead Timothy Helmer, who joined the team in January. As a Senior Brand Designer, Timothy has earned his stripes at CapeRock, where he was involved in brand identity projects for NPO and Discovery, among others, and at SKINN Branding Agency where he served as a Senior Brand Designer. In the meantime, Timothy also found time to establish his own studio. Additionally, he is the founder of the creative platform Creative Network, which organizes lectures and interviews with creatives under the umbrella of 'Let's Talk Design.'

And because all good things come in threes, Tom Kruijzen also joined the design department as a Brand Designer. From branding and graphic design to illustration and art direction, Tom is skilled in many areas. His portfolio is as colorful as it is diverse. In addition to a bachelor's degree in fine arts, he also underwent training as a sculptor. With Tom on board, we are indeed in good hands at VML!
