Creative Lead

Irene Pombo Martins
13+ Design Amsterdam, NL

Curious Driven Bold

Good design starts with asking the uncomfortable why. 13 years of building honest work across brand, digital, product and campaigns.
Today, also leading the people behind it - through Amsterdam.

13+
(rebrandswebsitescampaigns)

I design brand identities and the systems that hold them together. I ship the websites and the campaigns that bring them to life. Agency or in-house, I lead projects from ideation to delivery while tackling the right questions that the briefings tend to hide.

I challenge people on how to think, and invite them to deconstruct - together - why (the hell?) it feels right. Improving workflows is a natural habit that I (happily) can't seem to stop - a boost that gives us all the rightful room to passionately care for the craft.

Hands-on when it counts, strategic because it matters.
