Laura Looijen // Portfolio
About my journey
I am Laura Looijen. I call myself a concept designer because I dabbled in all parts of design. I have a master's degree in design engineering, but I have work experience in graphic and digital design, founded a startup from zero to selling, and have a passion for art, textiles, and illustration. I love to be a creative multitasker and take projects from scratch to pixel-perfect perfection!
