About

Visual Connectors
Visuele Verbinders (aka Visual Connectors) is a collective of entrepreneurial designers. We help organizations to develop, communicate and realize solutions in a visual way.
We love projects, where complexity is high and where getting people on board is crucial to realize impact. We help you to get the ideas out of people's mind onto paper and into reality.
We are curious, open (minded), critical and entrepreneurial. We believe in fluid forms of collaboration, where connection leads to reinforcement.
Our vision
Verbinden is a Dutch ambigue word for connecting, bonding, engaging, binding, joining and more. To bond is to strengthen. That is our belief. We not only show that belief in our services where we using drawing as a means to facilitate strategy and process development. But we share that believe amongst ourselves. For the best results, you simply need the best people. And the best creatives are not easily bonded ... That is why, as a collective, we work together and combine availability with continuity and flexibility. As entrepreneurs we are own brand and will always give a 110%.
We not only connect amongst ourselves, but also as a visual partner with clients and partners. Read below who our partners are.

We are always open to new forms of collaboration that strengthen our vision and beliefs, so that we can help our customers even better. Do you want to become a 'visual connector' yourself? Great! Please let us know.
