Portrait of Jeannette Valentine
Studio · Amsterdam · 2026

I'm Jeannette — a graphic designer working from a small room in Amsterdam and an even smaller letterpress workshop two streets over.

The work moves between identity, editorial and type. I take on a handful of projects a year, usually with founders, cultural institutions, or studios who want a body of work that is built to read — slowly, twice, and out loud.

Before going independent I led design at two studios in Berlin and Antwerp. The lessons I kept: every decision has to survive Monday morning; the cheapest detail is the one you delete.
