About
Graphic and packaging designer at Now New Next, based in Utrecht.
Packaging & concept designer
Hi, I'm Karmen.
Growing up the daughter of a photographer and a painter, I have always been drawn to the creative sector. I studied Image and Media Technology at HKU in Utrecht, where my love for design and branding was born. That broad, experimental education is why I am always eager to try new things and mix techniques.
Serious about graphic design, inspired by photography, curious about moving image and always excited to make something new.
