About Thomas Schrijer

Heya. I’m Thomas, a digital designer based in Amsterdam. In my work I strive to create lovable experiences across digital brands and products. I’m a system thinker by nature, looking at the bigger picture to come up with holistic solutions. I have a healthy obsession with searching for new angles, but I always come back to the same question: how do things connect? I'm best served as a generalist. “Are you a product or brand designer?” Is a question I hear more and more in the digital design space. As someone who's been on both sides, I see that the two need to be closely intertwined to create the best experience, to tailor to the right audience and to stand out from the crowd. Digital products nowadays tend to blend into each other. I think it’s time to make the online space more daring and emotional again. I believe that stories and narratives are key to create good design. A few things I have experience with: Branding: • Brand Strategy • Brand Identity • Brand Systems • Art Direction Interaction design: • User Experience design • Prototyping • Interface Design • System design Design leadership: • Design hiring & onboarding • Design mentoring & managing • Project & process management
