Top SchoolMerijn Van Essen is a multidisciplinary web developer, UX designer and co-founder with eight years of experience crafting visual identities, websites and campaigns from The Hague and Rotterdam.

His background in graphic communication, co-founding print and screen studios like OONA and Mesh Print Club, gives him a rare blend of analogue craft (screenprinting) and digital design practice. Merijn often leads concept-to-campaign work, including civic projects and crowdfunding for local initiatives, showing a knack for community-focused design.
