Kristine Kawakubo                Manifesto' Visual communication is an idea, desperately seeking images and other forms of truth in an ocean of rumours.'

- Jan van ToornA multi-faceted creative, skilled in the art of communicating through visual media. Her talents span a wide range of areas including art direction, branding, digital editing, printmaking and design critique. With an unquenchable passion for all things visual communication and social observation, she is constantly looking for new challenges and projects that allow her to flex her conceptual muscles. 

She believes that true design greatness can only be achieved through relentless questioning and pushing boundaries. Her process starts with a strong idea or concept and no preconceived notions, resulting in strikingly unconventional designs that challenge traditional aesthetics. She thrives on concept-driven projects and explores the intersectionality of different design disciplines to create unique and impactful visual grammars.Consider her for your next groundbreaking project - one that shatters convention and pushes the boundaries of imagination. 

Contact her via email to discuss potential collaborations and work opportunities.
