About me

Hi, I’m Joni. A 25-year-old designer with a degree in Communication and Multimedia Design from Hogeschool Utrecht.

I graduated with a focus on graphic design and UX/UI design — two areas where I can blend creativity with user-centered thinking.

In my free time you’ll probably find me in the gym. I also like to get creative with digital design and painting.

I’m a very social person and enjoy working with others. As a native Dutch speaker who is also fluent in English, I’m comfortable collaborating in international teams.

Experience

Nov, 2025 - Current

Junior Creative Designer, Mediahuis

New!

Currently, I work within the creative heart of Mediahuis Radio, contributing to major brands such as Radio Veronica, 100% NL, SLAM!, and Sublime. In this dual role, I bridge the gap between concept and creation, splitting my time evenly between brainstorming impactful campaign narratives and executing graphic designs. My responsibilities range from developing creative formats to producing high-quality visuals for social media, brand activations, and promotional materials. This position allows me to apply a storytelling approach to design while ensuring visual consistency across a diverse and dynamic media landscape.

Graduation Project (UX/UI), LiveWall

During my graduation internship at LiveWall, I worked within the Experiences team on optimizing Andgage, an interactive tool that helps clients create live engagement moments. My focus is on improving the user experience for new users by making the interface more intuitive and faster. Through UX research, prototyping, and testing, I developed a smoother experience that aligns with user needs and lowers the barrier to entry.

Junior Graphic Designer, Conscious Group

Following my internship, I stepped into the role of Junior Graphic Designer, where I took on increased responsibilities within the design team. I continued to work independently on a range of creative projects, from concept to execution. My tasks included designing promotional materials for various campaigns, ensuring brand consistency, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to align visuals with strategic goals. This role deepened my understanding of the impact of design on brand identity and allowed me to gain hands-on experience in managing design projects on my own.

This experience helped me to further develop both my creative and technical skills and build a solid foundation for my portfolio.

Education

Sep, 2024 - Feb, 2025

Visual Interface Design,
HvA

During the Minor in Visual Interface Design, I develop the knowledge and skills required to design user-friendly and meaningful digital products. The program focuses on learning visual design principles and understanding unconscious decision-making processes. I learn to find creative solutions to complex problems, visualize, support, and evaluate these solutions.

I develop my personal visual signature and vision for interface design, with an emphasis on influencing human behavior through design. Additionally, I refine practical skills in tools applying user experience design knowledge to digital interfaces.

Sep, 2023 - Jan, 2024

Immersive Design,
HU

During the Immersive Design specialization, I learned to design narrative-driven media that fully immersed the audience in a fictional world, allowing them to experience the story firsthand. By combining immersive storytelling techniques with the right technologies and media, I enhanced the emotional impact of the narrative and its ability to engage. This enabled me to deliver powerful (communication) messages across various media.
