Introduction

My name is Tom Vonk, 28 years of age and born and raised in Amsterdam. As a young kid playing on the streets I developed an interest in graffiti. In that time I was making pictures of anything what had to do with street art.

My experience with handwriting and colour balance became useful when I went to the art academy. There I started to focus more on the boundaries between graphic- and spatial design.

During my study I did my thesis about the use, lay-out and history of certain maps. And I find it fascinating how these maps contemplate different levels of information and are constructed to create a visual context, with the use of colors, lines and typography. 

I started my study with two years of Interior Design and graduated with an Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design. Currently I am working as a freelance Graphic Designer.
