Young Guns 18 Jury

Maartje Slijpen

Art Director / Creative Partner

KesselsKramer / MaartjeMerel

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Maartje Slijpen is a human being.

At her nine-to-five job she works as an art director at the internationally renowned agency KesselsKramer specialized in creating advertising for people who don’t like advertising. In her five-to-nine time she creates stuff that ’simply needs to be made’. Almost always in a close collaboration with life-long, and equally stubborn creative other half Merel Witteman who she met while studying at the Design Academy in Eindhoven in the first decade of this recent millennium.

Overall she likes making good things majestically clear, not shitty things look nice.
