Tim Boelaars is an art director, designer and illustrator with a focus on brand identity, iconography, packaging and design systems.

With over 15 years of experience, his signature style combines minimalism, vibrant color, and characteristic linework. He’s known for distilling complexity into visual elements that speak clearly and powerfully.

When projects require additional expertise, Tim assembles and leads teams of specialists to meet the scale and requirements.

He is the founder of Plant22, a curated coworking community in Amsterdam where creative professionals can focus and exchange ideas.

In 2012, he was named a Young Gun by the Art Directors Club in New York.
