About
I’m Damian, an illustrator and graphic designer based in Rotterdam. I create bold illustrations that move between digital work, murals and large-scale festival projects.
With a background in graphic design and illustration, I translate my visual language into complete identities. From stand-alone illustrations to full branding for businesses and hospitality spaces.
I regularly work with the festival scene, developing and executing art projects for events like Wildeburg and Komm Schon Alter. Whether it’s a mural, an illustration or a visual identity, I like my work to feel playful, contemporary and rooted in storytelling. Let’s talk!
