A city that embraces both heritage and innovation, it’s home to powerhouse studios like Studio Dumbar and Experimental Jetset, where bold ideas meet crisp execution. From vibrant street posters to sleek minimalist branding, Amsterdam’s creative energy is as fluid and dynamic as the city itself.

City Host

Shacyz Shaci Bechor
Creative Director
Amsterdam, Netherlands

I love all animals and spend my free time playing beach volleyball, doodling with friends, and cooking delicious meals. Community is my home; it all starts with people. I'm dedicated to strengthening Amsterdam's diverse communities and fostering connections that empower individuals and encourage collective growth. 

Since two years ago, I've been focusing on Amsterdam's diverse ecosystem of business and design communities. I work with local groups to facilitate growth and identify core values, while also helping private companies develop their own communities to improve business connections.

Explore thousands of interviews from designers around the world.

From Cairo to Paris, Mumbai, Tokyo, Cape Town, Perth and beyond, our interviews are filled with global perspectives on design to shine a brighter light for your design career.
