Wessel Merlijn Jansen, Designer for hire

Why I design

At Most Anyone, I design to open eyes and minds—creating work that isn’t just seen but felt, understood, and experienced. I believe that design is a tool for clarity, connection, and transformation, helping brands express their identity with meaning and impact.

How I work

I blend strategic structure with creative clarity to help brands articulate their identity and vision—clearly, consistently, and compellingly, both within their teams and out in the world.
My process is rooted in:
  • Defining values and shaping identity
  • Translating with more than language
  • Clarifying complexity and fostering emotional connection
  • Creating excitement and engagement through design
True alignment—between vision, brand, and audience—leads to scalable design systems that go beyond aesthetics, extending into identity, usability, and storytelling. My role is to define interpretations, create shared understanding, and push the scope of experiences into new creative frontiers.

What I offer

I create cohesive, impactful, and scalable designs tailored to your unique vision. With competitive pricing, I make high-quality design accessible, so you get the best without compromise.
