Rotterdam Interviews

Get the low down on your fav Rotterdam creatives, how they started out and if they’re hiring!

Studio Mals

Martin van der Molen and Silas Nout, Creative Directors at Studio Mals, recently took the time to chat to us about how they connected in university and developed their photographic illustration style. They spoke to us about finding the time to play Mario Kart while running a studio, why they love taking interns, and how to make your skillset work for you.

Studio de Ronners

We recently caught up with the Studio de Ronners team! Started 15 years ago by brothers Arwen and Matthijs Ronner, the studio works with print and digital design and loves bold ideas and bright concepts. Apart from design, they are very passionate about beer and clean typography, so much so that Arwen and Matthijs are shareholders in ‘Maallust’ a beer brand they co-founded, and —of course—designed.

Anna Bay

Meet Anna Bay⁠—a freelance illustrator from Rotterdam. Anna⁠ tells us about how she'd love to work on a sex-ed passion project, how getting into a 'zen state' when working can actually be draining, plus she gives some really great advice on getting in touch with your emotions and why having fun (and napping) should be your number 1 priority!

Studio Push

You really start to appreciate the importance of a trusting relationship between two different specialised creatives after you chat with the lovely duo behind Studio Push, Pierre & Emilie; It's what they call 'creative coding', and we learn a little more about what that means here, plus they share how they progressed through their studies, and how it helped them discover their likes & dislikes.

  • Internships are cheap to post, but please be respectful! This is is not a free design service. Our student and graduate following is of the highest quality and we want to honour their talent. Please respect the students and other commitments they might have time/money wise when submitting your ad. Thanks!
  • We love jobs! And so does our audience. Because our following is mostly students and graduates, the best jobs to advertise are for junior and mid weight roles. Specially graphic design, digital design, typography and illustration. Please note these are paid full time or part time roles, so if you have a one off project to advertise, put it under our Freelance jobs dropdown instead. Thanks!

  • Welcome to our new section for freelance one-off jobs! To keep things simple, we want to connect you with the talent by advertising what you need, and encouraging people to email you directly with an example of their work. You can choose who to work with from all the submissions you receive. Everything is done online, and you can expect a designer to be dealing with you remotely. The good news is you won’t be limited to talent locally - this is advertised in each of our cities, meaning you will get a much higher standard of work to choose from. Picking a budget is very hard - we do not encourage work for a fiver like some websites, because you will end up with something worth a fiver!

    Our community is full of the best emerging talent, and a average price should be around half of that of a professional. Our community is full of the best talent, and a average price should be around $65 p/h.
