Hi, I’m Jelle – a designer, art director, and poster artist!
With over a decade of experience as both an in-house designer for music labels and festivals and an independent freelancer, I’ve tackled everything from complex brand identities, merchandise, tourposters and magazines to guest lectures and international artist residencies
I’ve made hundreds of screen-printed gig posters, record artworks, and merchandise for bands like Mogwai, OSEES, Altin Gün, The Hives, and Idles.
I’ve also developed successful visual identities for music venues, festivals, and food brands, while diving into editorial design, print layouts, packaging, and everything in between.
Most of my clients come from the music, creative, and cultural industries, but I’ve also worked on multilingual and educational projects.
I’m based in Hamburg, Germany.
I also run my own webshop, called Black Hole Heart Club.
