About me

Juriaan is a filmmaker born and raised in The Netherlands, currently residing in London, where he has been developing his craft and excellence for the past 8 years.
Graduating first in the field of Graphic and Typographic Design, he soon decided he was to also study the art of film at the Royal College of Art in London. And it is this combination between the arts and the craftsmanship of design that has led him to produce an inspiring body of film.
Juriaan has since grown into his very own and distinctively strong aesthetic and has been conceptualizing, writing and directing commercials, content, music videos, mini-docs and short films, ever since. His client list reads like a who is who of art and commerce; from Heineken, Baileys, Nissan and Volvo, all the way to the Victoria & Albert Museum, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Burberry and the Design Museum, Juriaan is certainly a force to be reckoned with, on both sides of the English Channel.
