About

I’m bram naus, a digital designer. At least, that’s what I fill in on forms. You can also see me as a type nerd, a future entrepreneur, or another one of those passionate home cooks. Is it because of an imposter syndrome, or my excitement for getting an understanding of things? I still don’t know, but I decided to embrace that I love to do everything at once - and do it good.

Besides the drums, Mario Kart, and Virgil Abloh, I studied Media & Culture at the University of Amsterdam. These ingredients, combined with exploring my dad’s architect books as a kid, led me to start cooking as an UI designer at Resoluut—an Amsterdam based design agency. There I delved into design, people and how these two interact. After two years I decided to write design history with Verve and we did: we became European Agency of The Year. I gained a deeper understanding of digital brands and worked with absolute talents.

At Vev, I spent two years helping shape a better future for small business owners. Building the brand from scratch with crème de la crème colleagues—including my longtime partner-in-crime, developer Berrie Trippe—taught me how design thrives when it’s rooted in the real world. Less theory, more getting your hands dirty: turning pixels into products that stick around. Fun fact: Berrie and I first teamed up at 18 when we started our own agency, tweeb. Some things just click.

These days, I partner with ambitious founders and teams who’d rather outthink competitors than outshout them. My work is rooted in Dutch design: no-nonsense functionalism, and a splash of unexpected wit. Still can’t read blueprints, but I believe that I’ve gotten pretty good at building brands that stand firm.
