What I'm looking for
I'm Jeanne Shaw, an allround experience designer based in Amsterdam. With a Bachelor of Design from Fontys School of Fine and Performing Arts, I specialize in creating immersive experiences through visual arts, content creation, and innovative design concepts. My journey has led me to work on various freelance projects, where I've honed my skills in graphic design, exhibition styling, and creative concept development.
In my recent role as an Escape Room Designer, I have been responsible for designing engaging puzzles and maintaining technical services. My experience also includes serving as a treasurer for a student volleyball association, where I managed financial administration and organized activities for over 370 members. I thrive in collaborative environments and am passionate about pushing the boundaries of design to create memorable experiences.
