Bob Haarmans  
Sr. Art Director / Creative Lead 






An Art Director by trade, whilst studying Graphic Design I decided to combine both worlds in order to create a wider variety of work. This i kickstarted at the Miami Ad School in Hamburg with a Bachelor in Art Direction. Meanwhile i’ve been working for international and national agencies.
Next to overseeing creative solutions for brands, I have a big passion for documentary making.
