Ryan de Bruijn (Utrecht, NL) is a competition winning visual designer and interdisciplinary artist working across branding, motion, 3D, typography, installation, editorial design, and visual language systems. His practice navigates the space between clarity and experimentation—constructing bold, systematic frameworks that speak through detail, form, movement, speculation, and humor.
Rooted in the fields of art, culture, and music, Ryan’s work explores how design can function as both communication and commentary. He assembles visual identities that not only inform but invite reflection, speculation, and play—blurring the lines between functional design and artistic expression.
