I, Jessica den Hartog, make colorful graphic objects out of waste, organise creative retreats and I am a teacher at Koning Willem 1 College, I teach Graphic Design and Artculture.
My heart beats faster when I experience creativity, by myself and by someone else.
Space for experiments gives me a curious and analytical work attitude. I can now speak from experience that I find personal (work) relationships important. Discussing issues together, listening, sparring, translating creative ideas and enthusing has opened my eyes to what creativity means to me.
My work presenting the beauty and versatility of plastic waste with an new value. I have worked with factories, labs, platforms, designers, museums and schools. During the process, research is the way for me to make new designs. I make my own collections consisting of different design studies on a specific subject. For example, my own font, compositions, grids, etc. It is a mix of one-offs and small editions for a colorful interior, decorated with attention. Knowledge is shared through photography, lectures, teaching, exhibitions and books.
