Tessa Meeus is a designer with a social approach to design, branding and documentary film. I am forever interested in the ability of design to amplify voices. I research the ethical side of creative making.

I look for impactful ways of storytelling and experiment with the limits of design. This creates a socially engaged design practice, sometimes focussing on building a brand, sometimes focussed on improving living conditions with inspiring ways of storytelling, sometimes portraying a community from the inside out without being a fly on the wall.

I collaborate with residents, students, designers, and filmmakers. Get in touch if you have a collaboration in mind.

2022-Currently I live and work in Tilburg, NL. I work together on strategy, branding, design and storytelling projects with Fabian Hahne and Mirte Meeus in Hyphen Collective. See our projects here.
