Hello, my name is Harmen Liemburg. I’m a graphic designer, screenprinter, educator and design journalist based in Amsterdam.
Usually regarded as one of the applied disciplines, I like to see graphic design as a vehicle for imagination, storytelling and self-expression, regardless if it’s a job or a self-initiated project.
Much of my graphic output is based on collage-technique, and inspiration often comes from elements that already exist in the world.
In addition to a strong interest in graphic techniques, I have a special fondness of the so called vernacular. I see beauty in everyday traffic signs, logos and packaging designs that most people just take for granted or maybe don’t even notice at all.
