About me
I’m Anne, a 19-year-old graphic designer from Rotterdam, now based in Oslo. I graduated in Graphic Design and am currently studying Communication and Media, combining study with creative work.
Since January 2024, I’ve been working at Ocean Outdoor a leading digital out-of-home media company that transforms city spaces into creative stages for brands. I started there as an intern and now work part-time alongside my studies, specialising in advertising design for large-scale outdoor campaigns.
In October 2023, I founded Maevisign , my own creative studio, because I love collaborating with people to shape their ideas and bring them to life visually. Whether it’s crafting a logo, building a brand identity, designing print materials, or developing social media branding, I aim to make every idea not just seen, but remembered.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me running, cycling, or swimming or creating magazines and posters just for fun. Living in Oslo keeps me inspired: it’s a city full of energy and creativity!
About Maevisign
The name Maevisign was created in 2020, when I first started thinking about starting my own business in the creative industry. Since 2023, Maevisign has been officially registered with the Dutch KVK. I always knew I wanted to run my own business in something I was 100% passionate about. When we started discussing owning a business and branding during my graphic design studies, Maevisign immediately came back to mind. The branding I created back then suddenly made it feel much less out of reach, and that really motivated me. Maevisign doesn’t have any other designers on the team, so I do everything myself.
Experience
I’m a multi skilled creative with design experience across a wide range of tools, from Adobe Creative Cloud (After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, all Adobe Certified) to Maya, Blender, ProCreate, and CorelDRAW, with a touch of Nuke along the way. I love exploring new techniques and often take on projects outside of my studies to keep learning and experimenting.
My creativity isn’t limited to digital work, my painting series has been featured in several exhibitions in Rotterdam celebrating young creators in the city.
Professionally, I’ve gained experience through two internships: six months in the PR and Communications department at Lentiz, and at Ocean Outdoor in Oslo, where I design bold, large-scale visuals for a leading digital out-of-home media company. Both internships where half a year and a part of my graduation year at college.
