Meet Graphic Designer Marijke!

Last month, we welcomed Marijke as a Graphic Designer to the team at Blikvangers, part of Human Digital. She specializes in concept and packaging design, and enjoys transforming creative ideas into visual solutions that make brands stand out.

I’m always on the lookout for inspiration, whether that’s from a walk through a supermarket in another country, where I love spotting and photographing cool packaging, or by following the latest design trends
Get to know Marijke better!
We asked Marijke about her passions at work and beyond.
What do you enjoy most about design?
"While I work on a wide range of projects, from web design to branding, my true passion lies in packaging design. What’s great about packaging design is that it literally places a brand into the hands of the consumer. I love creating packaging that is both aesthetically beautiful and functional, standing out on the shelves. For me, it’s the perfect combination of creative thinking and practical application.”
What makes the work so fun?
“Besides packaging, I also love working on other design projects. The variety of different projects keeps my work exciting and challenging. The process of developing a concept into a final product that strengthens the brand is what drives me. The creative process and working with diverse brands constantly push me to raise the bar and apply new techniques and trends.”
What do enjoy doing in your free time?
“In my free time, I love being active and social. I often go out with my boyfriend, friends, or family, whether it’s for a nice lunch, drinks, or a good dinner. I have a strong love for music and regularly attend festivals. Whenever I get the chance, I travel to Spain, where my parents have a house. I love relaxing by the pool, spending time with family, and enjoying delicious meals.”
And what about sports?
“Although I played soccer for years, I unfortunately had to stop in 2023 due to an injury. Despite that, I stay involved with my old team by serving as a flag bearer during matches and, of course, joining in for the post-match gathering .”
In what ways do you engage with design in your free time?
“Besides my work at Blikvangers, I run my own business, Studio Rizo. Here, I help clients with all kinds of creative projects, from branding and web design to packaging design. In my spare time, you can often find me on my iPad, sketching and working out new ideas that I apply to my work.”
